Answer 2

Answer:

• Douglas finally gets rid of the fear he had of water by hiring a swimming instructor.
• He practised under the instructor's guidance for six months from October to April.
• Bit by bit, the instructor carved out a swimmer in William Douglas.
• He taught him breathing exercises, made him get used to the water, tied a rope around his waist and made him swim with support.
• At the end of the six-month period, he integrated all the pieces and thus he built a swimmer.
• Finally, to test his skill, Douglas swam in Lake Wentworth in New Hampshire and occasionally the terror would return, but he had conquered it eventually.
