[00:13.99]What kind of race do the children compete in?
[00:20.59]Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age.
[00:29.03]At a special swimming pool in Los Angeles,
[00:32.67]children become expert at holding their breath under water even before they can walk.
[00:39.60]Babies of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water.
[00:45.53]It is not long before they are so accustomed to swimming that they can pick up weights from the floor of the pool.
[00:54.11]A game that is very popular with these
[00:56.42]young swimmers is the underwater tricycle race.
[01:01.37]Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven feet under water.
[01:07.79]The children compete against each other to reach the other end of the pool.
[01:13.54]Many pedal their tricycles but most of them prefer to push or drag them.
[01:20.94]Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up for breath even once.
[01:27.81]Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time will tell.
[01:33.74]Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us
[01:36.51]who cannot swim five yards before they are gasping for air.
