(ii) Why did William Douglas choose Y.M.C.A. pool when he decided to learn to swim?                     [3] [2019 D SET-II]

 

Answer:

(ii) William Douglas chose Y.M.C.A. pool when he decided to learn to swim because it was a safe and an ideal place for swimming. It was only two or three feet deep at the shallow end; and while it was nine feet at the other, the drop was gradual whereas Yakima river was dangerous and many people had drowned in it earlier.
