Answer:

The author feels relaxed just before he becomes unconscious. His fear gets wiped out and he feels no panic. He feels as if he were going to sleep. He feels totally calm. Darkness sweeps over his brain and he stops all efforts.

Explanation:

• Despite his phobia of the sea, the author, William Douglas, is eager to learn how to swim.
• As a result, he joined a swimming pool, where a traumatic event intensified his fear.
• He was pushed into the water by another child and had a close encounter with death.
• He tried everything to rescue himself, but then something unexpected happened, and William saw the light. 
• Then, for the third time, he began to drown into the pool. He attempted to breathe, but instead swallowed water.
• As he drowned once again, the light went out. Then he gave up trying to save himself.
• William relaxed, his legs became limp, and a blackout occurred in his head. He did not panic once the terror subsided.
• He quieted down and felt at ease. He no longer felt threatened by drowning. He felt drowsy, was too exhausted to leap up, and it felt good to be drown.
