Answer:
- At the age of three or four when Douglas accompanied his father to the beach in California, the waves hit him, threw him and swept him away. This terrified him and instilled a fear of water. Douglas wanted to overcome this fear and upon his mother’s suggestion, he joined the swimming pool ay YMCA, Yakima, at the age of ten or eleven. There another incident took place, which further increased his aversion to water.
A big strong boy lifted Douglas and threw him into the deep end of the pool. Douglas sank into the water and planned to return to the surface by hitting the bottom of the pool with his foot. He tried this but unfortunately, it did not work. He tried thrice but he could not come up to the surface of the pool. A fear gripped him as he had nearly drowned. When he tried to breathe, he swallowed water instead. Finally, Douglas gave up on life and lay quietly when someone came and pulled him out.
