Not illustrated. 1850 Excerpt: ...you must at once draw in your legs towards your back, and striking them down towards the bottom, cast your body forward till you are turned on the face: but you must take heed that you have water sufficient, and that there are no weeds at the bottom, which have sometimes proved fatal to the best swimmers.
