Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in
/ɪksˈpɛrɪmənts/ /hæv/ /pruːvd/ /ðæt/ /ˈʧɪldrən/ /kæn/ /biː/ /ɪnˈstrʌktɪd/ /ɪn/
swimming at a very early age. At a special swimming pool in
/ˈswɪmɪŋ/ /æt/ /ə/ /ˈvɛri/ /ˈɜːli/ /eɪʤ/. /æt/ /ə/ /ˈspɛʃəl/ /ˈswɪmɪŋ/ /puːl/ /ɪn/
Los Angeles, children become expert at holding their breath
/Los/ /ˈeɪnʤəlz/, /ˈʧɪldrən/ /bɪˈkʌm/ /ˈɛkspɜːt/ /æt/ /ˈhəʊldɪŋ/ /ðeə/ /brɛθ/
under water even before they can walk. Babies of two months
/ˈʌndə/ /ˈwɔːtər/ /ˈiːvən/ /bɪˈfɔː/ /ðeɪ/ /kæn/ /wɔːk/. /ˈbeɪbiz/ /ɒv/ /tuː/ /mʌnθs/
old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water, It is not

long before they are so accustomed to swimming that they
/lɒŋ/ /bɪˈfɔː/ /ðeɪ/ /ɑː/ /səʊ/ /əˈkʌstəmd/ /tuː/ /ˈswɪmɪŋ/ /ðæt/ /ðeɪ/
can pick up weights from the floor of the pool. A game that is
/kæn/ /pɪk/ /ʌp/ /weɪts/ /frɒm/ /ðə/ /flɔːr/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /puːl/. /ə/ /geɪm/ /ðæt/ /ɪz/
very popular with these young swimmers is the underwater
/ˈvɛri/ /ˈpɒpjʊlə/ /wɪð/ /ðiːz/ /jʌŋ/ /ˈswɪməz/ /ɪz/ /ði/ /ˈʌndəˈwɔːtə/
tricycle race. Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool
/ˈtraɪsɪkl/ /reɪs/. /ˈtraɪsɪklz/ /ɑː/ /laɪnd/ /ʌp/ /ɒn/ /ðə/ /flɔːr/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /puːl/
seven feet under water. The children compete against each
/ˈsɛvn/ /fiːt/ /ˈʌndə/ /ˈwɔːtə/. /ðə/ /ˈʧɪldrən/ /kəmˈpiːt/ /əˈgɛnst/ /iːʧ/
other to reach the other end of the pool. Many pedal their
/ˈʌðə/ /tuː/ /riːʧ/ /ði/ /ˈʌðər/ /ɛnd/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /puːl/. /ˈmɛni/ /ˈpɛdl/ /ðeə/
tricycles, but most of them prefer to push ordragthem. Some
/ˈtraɪsɪklz/, /bʌt/ /məʊst/ /ɒv/ /ðɛm/ /priˈfɜː/ /tuː/ /pʊʃ/ /ɔː/ /dræg/ /ðɛm/. /sʌm/
children can cover the whole length of the pool without
/ˈʧɪldrən/ /kæn/ /ˈkʌvə/ /ðə/ /həʊl/ /lɛŋθ/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /puːl/ /wɪˈðaʊt/
coming up for breath even once. Whether they will ever
/ˈkʌmɪŋ/ /ʌp/ /fɔː/ /brɛθ/ /ˈiːvən/ /wʌns/. /ˈwɛðə/ /ðeɪ/ /wɪl/ /ˈɛvə/
become future Olympic champions, only time will tell.
/bɪˈkʌm/ /ˈfjuːʧər/ /əʊˈlɪmpɪk/ /ˈʧæmpiənz/, /ˈəʊnli/ /taɪm/ /wɪl/ /tɛl/.
Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us who
/ˈmiːnˈwaɪl/, /ðeɪ/ /ʃʊd/ /ɪnˈkʌrɪʤ/ /ðəʊz/ /əˈmʌŋ/ /ʌs/ /huː/
cannot swim five yards before they are gasping for air.
