| 1 | Swimming is really being able to get out from a river you have fallen in without drowning. |
| 2 | The two main swimming strokes are the breaststroke and the crawl. |
| 3 | The breaststroke is very hard to explain in words but I am going to try to do it. |
| 4 | You first float, and then move your legs and hands to a certain position. |
| 5 | Next you move your legs and arms forward, kick your legs out and move your hands round, and then you do this again. |
| 6 | Very soon you find you are swimming. |
| 7 | The crawl is very different. |
| 8 | It is like kicking except you are much more graceful. |
| 9 | You are in a position like this at first and you then kick out and do long strokes with your arms and legs. |
| 10 | Very soon you find you are moving along. |
| 11 | Swimming is great fun and everybody should try it. |
| 12 | It is a life-saver. |
