实验证明，儿童在很小的时候就可以开始学习游泳。在洛杉矶的一个特设的游泳池里，孩子们甚至在还没有学会走路时就已经能熟练地在水下屏住呼吸了。两个月的 婴儿并未显得不愿意入水。他们很快便适应了游泳，以致能捡起池底的物品。这些幼小的游泳运动员非常喜爱的一种游戏是水下三轮车比赛。三轮车并排放在7英尺 深的游泳池底上。孩子们比赛看谁先到达游泳池的另一端。很多孩子用脚蹬车，但多数孩子更愿意推或是拉着三轮车。有些孩子能够跑完游泳池的全长而不用露出水 面换气。他们将来是否能成为奥林匹克的冠军，这只能由时间来作出回答。与此同时，他们对我们中的那些游不了5码就已喘不过气来的人应该是种鼓舞。
Experiments have shown that children can start learning to swim when they are very young. In a specially-designed swimming pool of Los Angeles, children that couldn’t walk yet held their breath under water with ease. Even two-month-old infants did not appear hesitant going into the water. They got used to swimming so fast as to pick up stuff from the pool bottom. One of the young swimmers’ favorite games was underwater tricycle race. Tricycles were lined up on the 7-foot-deep swimming pool bottom. The children competed to be the first to reach the other end of the pool. Many children paddled with their feet on the tricycles, but most of them liked to push or pull them. Some children could go the whole length without breathing out of the water. Only time can tell whether they could become an Olympic Champions or not. In the meanwhile, it should be an inspiration for those of us who can’t swim more than 5 yards without being out of breath.
