Credits: Johnny Weismuller; "Stubby" Kruger

Description: Johnny Weismuller takes a class of young children, including three-year-old Peggy, and has them all doing the crawl almost before they know it. The film is instructive, and useful in helping children overcome fear of water—but also decidedly amusing. "Stubby" Kruger makes a very funny stooge, first as the loser of an under-water boxing match, then as the "pupil" in a diving lesson.
