Deep Water

Deep Water
Hello America we’re going to spend the next paid programming block to tell you about the book Deep Water. We are also going to take your questions also and I brought a friend along to do it give a warm welcoming to William Douglas, the author and the main character of the book. Now let’s start taking questions from you America.

You in the pink top, hi my question is how old is the writer when he started to fear water. Well I’ll let William take this one; I was three of four at the time when he experienced the horrible accident. Wait I have a follow-up question how did you become afraid of water? I was in California with my dad at the time, we were surfing and a wave hit me and shoved me off the board I was pinned under the water I had lost my breath and I was scared out of my mind, and that is how I became afraid of water. Now on to someone else how about you with the round glasses, my question is what happens when he is thrown in the pool? I’ll field this one he was not the strongest swimmer yet so he started to sink to the bottom when he hit the bottom he jumped up to try to get to the top but he sank to the bottom this repeated a couple more times until he blacked out. Thanks for the question but we have to move on how about you with the big Grey sweater. Can you explain what affect the swimming pool incident had on William? It made me not want to ever swim again I was scared to death I ran home and cried in bed I didn’t have dinner that night.

We don’t have a lot of time left so we have to move on you in the front row. Thanks for calling on me my question is how did William overcome his fear, and how long did it take? I got a personal coach to train me to swim and it took me about nine months to overcome my fear. Now for our last question how about you cool my question is what did he do to overcome his fear? I went to Lake Wentworth in New Hampshire I dived off the dock and swam two miles to an island in the middle of the lake that's how I proved to myself that I had overcome my fear.
