Question

How did Douglas make sure that he conquered the old terror?

Answer 1

The swimming training was over, but Douglas was not confident about his swimming. He was worried about how to overcome the fear. He was determined to completely get rid of it forever. He swam alone in the pool. He went to Lake Wentworth to dive. There, he tried every possible stroke he had learnt. He fought back the tiny traces of terror that gripped him in middle of the lake. Finally during his diving expedition in the Warm Lake, he realised that he had truly conquered his old terror.
