The chapter deals with two basic aspects of human nature: the creation of fear due to any particular circumstance and the ability to over come that fear. The author of the chapter, develops a deep fear for water because of a childhood incident. He is completely handicapped by this fear and is unable to enjoy any activity related to water. The fear is real and the he has to face this fear alone to get rid of it. His strong willpower and comforting help from people around him pulls him out of this darkness of fear.
The events of the chapter show us that minor incidents of childhood can have a long lasting and damaging effect on one's mind. Such effects remain active in a person's subconscious mind till the time he makes a conscious effort to wipe them from his mind.
A strong determination, courage and a well thought plan can can help one overcome the biggest fear of his life. Same was done by the writer in this chapter. He is helped by his coach to become a good swimmer but his quest for fearlessness doesn't end here. He has to do it alone; where his only companion are his capability, his resolve and his nerves of steel. Ultimately he is able to achieve his aim and come out of deep waters drowning all his fears forever.
