It all started when he and his father went to California for a vacation. He goes to the shore and is knocked down and swept away by a wave. The author is terrified, but the father chuckles because he knows there is no risk. This event, however, disturbs him, and he develops a fear of water as a result. The author then has another occurrence when he is 11 years old, which exacerbates his phobia.He's trying to learn how to swim at a pool in Yakima. A bully plans to play a dangerous joke one lovely day. He frightens the author by pushing him into the deep end of the pool. He reaches nine feet into the sea and begins frantically grasping at somethingFurthermore, he cries for rescue, but he becomes immobile, with just his heart moving. As a result, he quits up and prepares to die, but he wakes up at the pool's edge. The horror he feels when drowning, on the other hand, never goes away. It has haunted him for many years and has even ruined his future kayaking, swimming, fishing, and other adventures.He travels to places like Marine Lakes, Columbia, New Hampshire, and others, but he is unable to enjoy them. As a result, he resolves to overcome his phobia by any means necessary. He enrolls in a swimming lesson and tries to pick up some tips from the instructor.
