Famous quotes containing the word swimming:
“The swimming hole is still in use. It has the same mudbank. It is still impossible to dress without carrying mud home in ones inner garments. As an engineer I could devise improvements for that swimming hole. But I doubt if the decrease in mothers grief at the homecoming of muddy boys would compensate the inherent joys of getting muddy.”
—Herbert Hoover (18741964)
“Whenever parents become overly invested in a particular skill or accomplishment, a childs fear of failure multiplies. This is why some children refuse to get into the pool for a swimming lesson, or turn their back on Daddys favorite sport.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
