Swimming Scientifically Taught: A Practical Manual for Young and Old

"Swimming Scientifically Taught: A Practical Manual for Young and Old" by Frank Eugen Dalton is a guide from the early 1900's explores the ins and outs of swimming, acting as a handbook for newbies and experienced swimmers alike. It not only shows different strokes and safety steps, but also stresses how important swimming is for saving lives and staying healthy. The book starts by pointing out how crucial swimming is, since many people can't swim even though it could save them. Dalton believes everyone should learn to swim, no matter how old they are, so they can protect themselves and others if something goes wrong in the water. He also talks about how swimming is good for your body and mind. Dalton lays out how the book will help people understand swimming in a scientific way and learn techniques that work, setting the scene for the detailed instructions that come later.
