Answer:
The author had gone to YMCA pool to learn swimming to overcome his childhood fear. However, a mishap happened that further deepened his fear. The narrator was sitting alone on the edge of the pool; a big muscular boy came and threw him into the pool. Douglas did not know swimming; he almost drowned. If the muscular boy had not saved him, Douglas could have drowned.
The California beach incident happened when Douglas was 3 or 4 years old. His dad had taken him to the beach; when he was standing on the beach, a huge wave knocked him over. This incident was the beginning of fear of water in his heart.
