Answer 1

Douglas was pushed into the deep end of a swimming pool by an older boy, which triggered his fear of drowning. He struggled desperately, trying to reach the surface, but kept sinking. Finally, he used all his strength to make one last attempt to save himself and managed to grab the edge of the pool. This horrifying experience motivated him to overcome his fear of water later.
