One method that has been tried successfully in a very large camp, but
which would apply equally well in any camp, is the arrangement of the
entire camp into groups designated as "Swimming Classes" and indicated
by a special color bathing cap for each group or class so that they may
be easily distinguished in the water.

_Class Number 4, Red Cap._--All who have not passed the canoe test which
is explained under the heading "Class Number 3."

_Class Number 3, Green Cap._--Pass the canoe test which consists of
swimming, floating or otherwise staying above depth for fifteen minutes,
and swimming in from an overturned canoe 20 yards from shore.

_Class Number 2, Blue Cap._

Did you ever work to become a member of the Women's Life Saving Corps of
the American Red Cross? The purpose of this organization is to train
women in all coast cities, and cities bordering on lakes and rivers, to
be able to meet emergencies in the water and save lives.
