Rules for Swimmers by Veteran Coach Robinson
Swimmers should wait at least an hour after eating before swimming and avoid swimming alone. Don't accept rides if you cannot swim. Enter water with hands under, step into a safe hole, and learn to swim toward shore. Swim away from the beach and exit rough water if in trouble. Swim until exhausted, avoid showing off, and try to float in undertow. Keep these rules in mind when visiting the bathhouse, per the Chi Tribune excerpt.
