Douglas had nearly in the swimming pool. For days there was a haunting in his heart. The slightest exertion upset him. He avoided going near water as he feared it. The waters of the cascades, fishing for salmon in canoes, bass or trout fishing-all appeared attractive activities. However, the haunting **** of water followed Douglas everywhere and ruined his fishing trips? It deprived him of the joy of canoeing, boating and swimming.
The of water became a handicap. He used every method he knew to overcome this . Finally, he decided to engage a trainer and learn swimming. In seven months the Instructor built a swimmer out of Douglas. However, the vestiges of the old ** would return when he was alone in the pool. He could now frown on ** and go for another length of the pool. This went on till July. Douglas was not satisfied.
He went to Lake Went worth and swam two miles. The ** returned only once when he had put his face under water and saw nothing but bottomless water. In order to remove his residual doubts he hurried west to Warm Lake. He dived into the lake and swam across to the other shore and back. He shouted with joy as he had conquered his **** of water. He finally succeeded in his effort.
