26、t swimmers.Most landsmen who are not swimmers have rather a dread of water, which perhaps deters（阻止） them from learning to swim. Indeed there is a story of a man who said he would never go into the water until he had learned to swim. But those who have learned swimming in their childhood get so used

27、 to being in deep water that they have no fear of it at all. So all boys and girls too, should be taught swimming; for it is an art much more easily learned in childhood than in later life.56.
