While the Royal Life Saving Society was the agency that developed life-saving drills to ensure the safety of the public and sought to spread instruction throughout England after 1891, other social organizations also saw swimming as a valuable skill that should be widely taught because of its utility. Foremost among these organizations were the youth movements created by Robert Baden-Powell, the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides. Right from the start both organizations promoted the learning of swimming as a social good that everyone should aspire to. As part of their service to the community Scouts and Guides were expected to be able to swim so that they could render assistance in time of need. This article is an examination of the manner in which swimming was promoted in Baden Powell's youth movements, and argues that the promotion of swimming in the Scouting and Guiding movements was firmly rooted in ideas of service to others and humanitarianism. |
