The Carter Settlement presents:
The Academy of Swimming for Women and Children
The sentimental potpourri of fresh linen air, where the days are feverishly hot, roses are bursting into bloom, dewdrop fragrance of confederate jasmine and sugar moon scents cascade through the atmosphere, seaside excursions and salty mist of caramelised waves swish—hints the coming of age for children's summer season commences. School is over, and we begin polishing our high bottom boots and pack our picnic pails for feasting on strawberries and cream, lemonade and iced cones.
