FOREWORD
To the Annette Kellermann Swim
ming Lesson Series.
Several million Americana and
other millions of persona through
out the world have se»*ii Annette
Kellermann perform her daring and
urtlstlc swimming feats In dramatic
enterprises and vaudeville.
Throughout the world, In all
lands, her name stands for beauty,
daring and skill. All women know
of her as the possessor of the most
perfect figure with which any w-o
--rnan has ever been endowed since
the days of the historic Venus.
But the revelation that will amaze
you is that all of her perfection of
form and figure, all of the beauties
of body about which bolh sexes
comment, are not natural endow
ments from the time of her birth.
They are »elf-create<l. Hard woik,
llfo In the open, life In the water
and close contact with nature pro
duced the splendid phyjlcal sped
j men known to you as Annette Kel
| lermann.
Miss Kellermann was bom in
Australia. She was the fi*u«)lest and
most delicate of infanta. Her par
ents had no hopes of raiding her.
On flic tiay of her birth this littlo
mite of humanity was so tiny that
'her father pluc*d her little body in
tn ordinary tin quart-pot and there
wiia «1 ill room to spare in the
i measure.
Naturally the childhood of such a
diminutive youngster kept her fam
[ ily in constant dread.
Hut Nature provided a solution of
th«lr fears
The wonderful Australian open
country and its health giving air be
ta n to have its efffet upon Annette
Kellerman and systematic exercise
began to fill out her figure.
No one who harbor* worries about
inadequate al development
tued despair if the Kellerman pre
epts are kept in mind and the the
ory of them tran.-daifd inio fad.
As devoted as she ban always
■ been to phyHe.nl culture. Annette
j Kellerman feels that the greatest of
jail exercise* Is swimming. She
tanks It as the greatest o{ cure-alls
l for the development of deficient
physique. Site considers it the
greatest muscle-builder; the finest
m rve building force and the least
dangerous of all -peris.
! Swimming sh » ranks as the very
best of all of nature’s own mil 1
• stimulants and for women it is th-*
(surest of all forms of physical con
j dit inning.
It will interest vou to know tha'

i most no chance of growing up in‘o
! tine and heal*h/ wt.martin *d later
!m life became the greatest a 11-round
1 swimmer of her sex eve.* developed
|ln any country. At the age of 15
(she set up new figures for miles,
covering the distance in four hour
and »u minutes. A lew- years later
«*hc swam 13 1-2 miles In the Thames
In 3 hours, 51 minutes and 1b sec
onds In the champion* hi|. of
France, an eigl’C-mlle swim In the
Seine, she took secon 1 to the burly

There is so much more to dress than
