Lesson94    Future champions

Experiments haveproved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age. At aspecial swimming pool in Los Angeles, children become expert at holding theirbreath under water even before they can walk. Babies of two months old do notappear to be reluctant to enter the water, It is not long before they are soaccustomed to swimming that they can pick up weights from the floor of thepool. A game that is very popular with these young swimmers is the underwatertricycle race. Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven feet underwater. The children compete against each other to reach the other end of thepool. Many pedal their tricycles, but most of them prefer to push or drag them.Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up forbreath even once. Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, onlytime will tell. Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us who cannot swimfive yards before they are gasping for air.
