Two children receiving instruction at the New Plymouth municipal baths in the “Learn to Swim Week” campaign can claim something of a record for rapid progress. Unable to swim' at all when instruction began on Monday, on Wednesday they swam 50 and 100 yards respectively for their certificates. Roughly, 250 children are receiving instruction at the baths. The instructors report that a large proportion have already learned to sw|im a few strokes and to keep themselves afloat, and that in the main there are few afraid of the water.
