California is also a drought state, so those reservoirs can get really small and the water can sit around for a lot longer.

A salesman hurried to her aid and helped her to the shore. He gave her his business card. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For his reward,\" according to a squib in the Hopkinsville Kentuckian on July 26, \"the hero received a note in which the lady told him that he should not regard the rescue act as a sufficient reason for an introduction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were also definite no-no's for swimming attire. In the summer of 1922, according to information accompanying a photo at the Library of Congress, the city of Washington, D.C., decreed that a woman's bathing suit was not to be more than six inches above her knees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rules varied from beach to beach. The public safety director of Atlantic City, N.J., also declared in 1931 that \"suits must not be shorter than six inches above the knee\" and \"trunks must not be too tight,\" according to the Mount Carmel Item in Pennsylvania on June 5. At a lakeshore spot in Decatur, Ill., all male swimmers — in the summer of 1933 — had to wear shirts and no one was allowed to hang clothes on a hickory tree, the \u003cem>Daily Review\u003c/em> reported on June 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as the 1930s wore on, restrictions on swimwear began to wear off. Stories about beaches posting dress — or undress — codes seemingly disappear from newspapers. By 1939, the city of Hammond, Ind. — apparently reflecting the relaxing attitudes of many American towns — had thrown all bathing suit rules out the window. \"The city will establish no rules on type of bathing suits to be worn,\" the local \u003cem>Times\u003c/em> reported on June 16, \"just so bathers are garbed in some fashion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Follow me \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/NPRHistoryDept\" target=\"_blank\">@NPRHistoryDept\u003c/a>; lead me by writing \u003ca href=\"mailto:lweeks@npr.org\" target=\"_blank\">lweeks@npr.org\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 NPR.

The public safety director of Atlantic City, N.J., also declared in 1931 that \"suits must not be shorter than six inches above the knee\" and \"trunks must not be too tight,\" according to the Mount Carmel Item in Pennsylvania on June 5.

The trees around the pool are hung with chimes that tinkle softly. Light jazz is piped through hidden speakers. Cooper gently instructs and encourages. He sometimes throws in a little etiquette tutoring: \"Conrad, I burped!\" one little boy tells him gleefully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You did? Well, what do we say when we burp?\" Cooper asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Um, excuse me?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes, excuse me. Very good.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One by one, kids leave the pool stairs and swim over to Cooper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Kick, Logan, c'mon, kick those little legs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Logan McRae, who's wearing swim diapers, puts his little hands into Cooper's big ones. He has powered himself halfway across the pool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Atta boy, Logie! Where are you going to swim next?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silently, Logan points at his seated parents, and looks to Cooper for approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You're swimming to mommy and daddy?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Logan nods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"OK, then, don't forget to kick!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the first half-hour, the kids get to vary the routine, by jumping off a huge granite rock that's on the side of the pool's deeper end, which causes much hilarity and some parental spritzing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And despite insisting that there's no bubble-blowing or game-playing, when Cooper wades to the shallow end and holds aloft a clutch of plastic toys, the kids squeal with excitement. There's a sea star (\"\u003cem>Not\u003c/em> a starfish!\" Cooper scolds), a stingray and an Ariel from \"The Little Mermaid.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He tosses them all in the water. Each child chooses a target, then dives down and emerges, grinning, prize in hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents say they're amazed at the transformation. Meredith Harper points to her daughter, Dove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You see the results. On Monday she couldn't swim,\" Harper says. \"Friday she can swim. It just speaks for itself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caroline Collins says 5-year-old Nate was one of the kids who cried for the first couple of days, but they kept at it. \"And by the end of the week, he was jumping off that rock. And he had no swim experience prior to Conrad.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper says his students don't need prior experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Swimming is the easy part,\" he says. \"It's the trust part that's the most difficult for them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he's earned it. His students leave him with hugs, high-fives and kisses. And last year, some of his early students returned with their own children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's rewarding, I love that,\" Cooper says, as he goes out to greet the next class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 NPR.
