A Science; Center

"Statistics show that the age
of children has a greet deal to
do with their interest . in swim-
ming. At the age of 12, 49% of
the children are interested in
swimming, at 13, 31%, at 14,
41% and at 15 ; 39%. It is that
change of interest which makes
it so important to teach children.
swimming at an early age," .
Joshua Borodkin, swimming di-
rector at, the Jewish Centers
stated this week.
,Although one can learn to
swim in a relatively short tirrie,
about eight hours, swimming,
like any other sport requires
continuous practice to achieve
perfection. Taking this into
consideration, the swimming di-
rector of the • Jewish Community
Center has prepared a new type
of progress chart, . not based on
a. marking system, but on a
progressive . stage system. These
charts, in an experimental form,
will soon be used on the Junior
