What reading level is The Handbook of Summer Sports And Pastimes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As soon as the teacher perceives that the pupil begins to support himself, he slackens the rope a little, and in- stantly straightens it if the pupil is about to sink.
"When the pupil can swim about ten strokes in succession, he is released from the pole ; when he can swim about fifty strokes he is released from the rope too, but the teacher remains near him until he can swim 150 strokes in succession, so that, should he sink, assistance could be given him. After this he may practice, under the... care of the teacher, until he proves that he can swim unremittingly for above half-an-hour, when he may be wholly left to himself.
THE MANNER OF ENTERING THE WATER.
Persons who have no idea of swimming should enter the water by de- grees, but for those who have had any practice in the art the best way is to enter by diving head foremost, whioh effectually prevents your taking cold, and hinders the rush of blood to the head ; you must, however, avoid descending flat on the belly, or you will sustain a shock from the water that will at once expel the air from your body.
