Question

From the beginning, however, I had an aversion to the water when I was in it. This started when I

was three or four years old and father took me to the beach in California. He and I stood together in

the surf. I hung on to him, yet the waves knocked me down and swept over me. I was buried in

water. My breath was gone. I was frightened. Father laughed, but there was terror in my heart at the

overpowering force of the waves. My introduction to the Y.M.C.A. swimming pool revived

unpleasant memories and stirred childish fears. But in a little while I gathered confidence. I paddled

with my new water wings, watching the other boys, and trying to learn by aping them.
