Sidney George Hedges was a writer for many magazines oriented toward the
"young reader"; his areas were physical exercise and
entertainments(swimming, skating, table tennis, etcetera) with a dash of
music and "adventure" fiction. Hie contributed to these publications from
the early 20's until the late 50's; and as well wrote books along similar
lines; some of his other titles on swimming are:

The Boy's and Girls's Swim Book;
The Book of Swimming and Diving;
Swimming is for Everyone;
and (possible predictably)
Swiming.
