Drownproofing
Drownproofing is a method for surviving in water disaster scenarios without sinking or drowning. It is also famous as a class once required at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
==History==
Drownproofing was developed by swimming coach Fred Lanoue, known to students as Crankshaft because of his limping gait. It was first taught in 1940.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tech Timeline: 1940-1959 )〕 His method was so successful that it gained national recognition, and Georgia Tech soon made it a requirement for graduation, until 1988.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tech Timeline: 1980-1999 )〕 The US Navy also took interest, and adopted it as part of their standard training. It is claimed that during Lanoue's time teaching at Tech from 1936 to 1964, he taught drownproofing to some 20,000 students.
Once they had mastered the Drownproofing technique, students learned how to stay afloat with their wrists and ankles bound, swim underwater, and retrieve diving rings from the bottom of the pool using their teeth. Lanoue published a book called ''Drownproofing, a New Technique for Water Safety'' in 1963.〔Pub: Prentice-Hall - Note. This was prior to ISBN system.〕 Georgia Tech dropped the course from its curriculum in 1988, as part of a downsizing of its physical education and athletics department.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://lmc.gatech.edu/~herrington/3020sp99sites/tbook/traditions/drownproofing.html )〕
Reagh "Doc" Wetmore, swimming coach at Boston University, shared Fred Lanoue's enthusiasm for Drownproofing and continued to teach the technique until his retirement at the end of 2005.
