[00:01.120] --- Lesson 94 Future champions
[00:07.360] --- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:13.560] --- What kind of race do the children compete in?
[00:20.120] Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age.
[00:28.600] At a special swimming pool in Los Angeles,
[00:32.320] children become expert at holding their breath under water even before they can walk.
[00:39.160] Babies of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water.
[00:45.080] It is not long before they are so accustomed to swimming that they can pick up weights from the floor of the pool.
[00:53.680] A game that is very popular with these young swimmers is the underwater tricycle race.
[01:00.920] Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven feet under water.
[01:07.440] The children compete against each other to reach the other end of the pool.
[01:13.120] Many pedal their tricycles, but most of them prefer to push or drag them.
[01:20.520] Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up for breath even once.
[01:27.400] Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time will tell.
[01:33.280] Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us who cannot swim five yards before they are gasping for air.
[01:42.600] --- end
