Douglas had a deep rooted fear of water in his mind. He wanted to overcome it by learning swimming. His mother warned him against learning swimming in the Yakima River because it was quite ferocious and treacherous. Many people had drowned there while bathing and swimming.
The mother advised him to join YMCA pool instead. So, the author joined YMCA pool, which was quite safe.
