The National Women’s Life Saving League, led by L de B Handley, shifts focus to indoor pools for training in self-protection and rescue techniques. Over 1500 members plan a winter campaign, pooling resources in private natatoriums and municipal baths to spread knowledge away from crowded beaches.
Begun in 1908 by New York and Brooklyn women, the National Women's Life Saving League promotes women and girls swimming teaching free instruction, life saving and first aid. It has grown to chapters in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and California with more than 1500 members. The league stages water carnivals, trains aquatic staff, and emphasizes rescue, endurance and sportsmanship, producing numerous rescues and durable lifesaving skills among its members.
