      The book delves into the influence of swimming professors on the evolution of swimming in nineteenth-century England, particularly their role in promoting participation among women. It highlights the significance of female natationists in shaping women's swimming and examines the emergence of new employment opportunities with the establishment of swimming baths. The authors argue that the contributions of these professors have been overlooked in favor of amateur organizations, emphasizing that individual efforts were crucial in laying the groundwork for modern sports.
