Each swimmer should keep in her own course. If she crosses into the course of another swimmer and touches her she is liable to disqualification. In turning the swimmer should touch the end of the pool with one or both hands. The swimmer must touch the finish line with a hand out of the water. If the stroke is judged for form the competitor must dive into the water, swim a given distance, turn, all in perfect form. In the plunge for distance the dive should be made from a firm take-off. The body must be kept motionless, face down, no longer than sixty seconds, however. The distance is measured from a line parallel to the diving base, at right angles to base, to the farthest point reached by any part of the body. A certain number of plunges, usually two or three, is allowed to each competitor. In diving there are usually a list of required and voluntary dives. The judges consider the form with which the dive was executed. (Form is treated under diving.) The scale of points usually is: Unsuccessful attempt, 0; Poor dive, 3; Fair dive, 6; Good dive, 8; Excellent dive, 10. SWIMMING TEST. The all-around swimming test as practised at Bryn Mawr College in a 68-foot pool, the details of which have been contributed by Mr. Philip Bishop, Athletic Director of the Haverford School and Advisory Swimming Coach at Bryn Mawr College, is given herewith. All-Around Swimming Test for Women BY PHILIP BISHOP. This test is taken in three sections: diving, plunge and object dive in one section; form and speed in another; endurance and underwater swim in the third. Section 1.--Speed test, two lengths to be done in 44 seconds; form swimming, breast stroke, back stroke and trudgeon, or crawl stroke. Section 2.--Endurance test, 150 yards in 3 minutes; underwater swim, 50 feet. Section 3.--Diving, standing straight dive, running straight dive, standing high dive; fancy diving, four dives, which include jackknife, back dive and somersaults; plunge, 30 feet; object dive, must pick up 6 rings in 3 attempts. The successful competitor must score 85 per cent to qualify as a first-class swimmer. This test is by no means a hard one, but it requires practice. The object is to make all-around swimmers and to teach the correct method of diving and making the strokes employed. Water Basket Ball and Water Polo Water basket ball and water polo are two thrilling and interesting games. They are so similar in general characteristics that they are treated here in the same chapter. From my own experience I believe them to be the most strenuous games played by women. By that I do not mean that they are necessarily harmful. I do believe, however, that they should be played only under the most careful supervision of a medical or physical training authority. Two points should be considered before a girl is permitted to participate in either of these games: 1. All players should be in perfect physical condition. 2. All players should be strong and capable swimmers.
