XD9202 ” Swimming for Beginners ” Circa 1946 Swimming Instructional Film ft Coach Fred Cady

Swimming for Beginners, “Official Films Inc Presents”, “Supervised by Fred Cady Coach United States Olympic Teams USC”, 1946?

“These films were produced by Norman Sper. They have a running commentary by the radio announcer, Ken Carpenter, and were supervised by Fred Cady, coach for the United States Olympic Team, and swimming and diving instructor for the University of Southern California. The first of the three films ‘Swimming for Beginners’ shows Fred Cady instructing a youngster. The child is taught the fundamentals of swimming–from floating and kicking to proper breathing and the finished arm stroke of the American Crawl. The second in the series, ‘Advanced Swimming,’ pictures accomplished swimmers perfecting their stroke and gaining speed through correct leg action and swift down pulls with the arm. ‘Swimming and Diving,’ the third film, deals with the fundamentals of diving and how the average swimmer may become proficient in this sport. This film also illustrates how some of the more difficult trick dives are performed and perfected”
