• when he 3 years old he had gone to the California beach with his father and the waves swept him off his feet and the incident made an imprint on his mind and he began to be fearful of water.
• a few years later, he joined swimming classes and again a tragic incident where one guy pushes him to the deep side, makes his subconscious mind scared as he faces near death.
• but eventually, he joins swimming classes and learns to swim in order to enjoy his hobbies of fishing and swimming in huge lakes and waterfalls.
