Sterrett is a practical manual on swimming written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a comprehensive guide for both novices and expert swimmers, showcasing techniques, methodology, and essential skills for effective swimming, diving, and floating. The book emphasizes the importance of swimming not just as a recreational activity, but as a vital life skill and a critical part of education. At the start of the manual, the author highlights the necessity of mastering swimming techniques for personal safety and enjoyment. Sterrett addresses the increasing popularity of the sport and its significance in American culture. He discusses the three essential components of swimming—timing, breathing, and relaxation—and introduces various swimming strokes such as the breaststroke and crawl.
