How did author re - confirm his swimming skills?
Dear Student,
The story 'Deep Water' is an excerpt taken from the author's autobiography Of Men and Mountains. In this story he tells the reader about his fear of water and how with sheer determination and courage he managed to overcome it. Having faced a near death experience in a swimming pool as a young boy, it was natural for the narrator to harbour a fear of swimming in his sub conscious mind. In spite of all this, he had a desire to learn swimming, so he hired an instructor who ensured that William knew swimming well enough to be able to swim in huge lakes and waterfalls. He faced his challenges head on and was able to overcome them.
Regards
