“The trouble is in some cases to get enough water to put the children into,” said Mr P. A. Mathieson, of Dunedin, a professional coach for the Dominion learn-to-swim” campaign, at a meeting in Christchurch, when speaking of the thorough way in which some districts in the south were organising the campaign, which will be held in February. Mr Mathieson said he was referring to Temuka, where there was only one swimming bath to cater for children from a wide area. However, it had been arranged to carry out instruction from 7 a.m. till 7 p.m. each day, and in that way to teach as many as possible to swim.
