However,I believe

17、that five is the best age to learn.By five or six,a child knows fear of water,a very important thing to know.Its wise to be afraid,to recognize true danger.Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous. To really benefit from swimming,every swimmer should learn,as soon as poss

18、ible,these four basic strokes;butterfly,backstroke,breastroke,and crawl.I feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others,since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally,without any training. In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow: 1.Never swim alone

19、!No matter how good you are in the water,dont risk drowning by swimming alone.If you swim by yourself,with no life guards or friends with you,you may get into trouble. 2.Dont go beyond your abilities.Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach,Showing off by doing danger

23、he air temperature was 3,and the water temperature was a little higher.The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island,New York are usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements.First,they must get along well with everyone else in the group;this is very important because there

24、 are so many different kinds of people in the club.Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February. Dcotors dont agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the bodys temperature

25、 drops so low that finally the heart stops.Other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter. The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied wi

26、th the benefits of cold-water swimming.They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.A person who turns blue probab

27、ly has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.

The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whos

But the opposite is not alway

36、s true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth.
