22、When I was young, I liked to play jokes on people I knew, especially on my parents and friends. One day my mother was cooking and I was playing with my younger brother, Tony. Suddenly I ran to my mother and said, “Tony fell down from the open window!” She was very worried and ran out of the kitchen. Then I said, “Don’t worry, I’m just joking.” My mother shouted at me, “If you do it again, I’ll hit you.”

Another day I went swimming with my friends in the sea. I wanted to play a joke on them. In the beginning I swam fast and I called out “Help!” All my friends came to help me. However, they found that I was joking. But half an hour later I wasn’t joking. I was so fast, soon I got tired and couldn’t swim any more. I tried my best to call my friends for help, but this time nobody came to help me.

23、Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental deaths of children, so a lot of parents are already signing them up for summer swim lessons.

Studies show they help save lives. According to USA Swimming, formal lessons reduce the possibility of drowning by nearly 90%.

Afton Kidman knows the dangers that come from water. “We shouldn’t only want our kids to think water is fun,” Kidman said. “They also need to know how to survive（存活）in it.”

Kidman’s son, Forrest, was in a drowning accident. He survived but suffered brain damage, and it’s why Kidman decided to learn how to teach survival swimming and became a teacher at Children Swimming Center.

“I wanted to be able to help more kids,” Kidman said. She’s taught nearly 50 of them so far. Some babies are as young as six months. This summer, she has 30 more children coming for lessons. “Every parent should have your child learn how to swim,” Kidman said, “it’s a great gift to give them.”

“Across the country, more than a million kids will learn to swim this summer,” Ruth Comer, with YMCA of Greater Des Moines, said. “Kids who are disabled or have special needs, anyone can learn to swim. It’s never too late.”

“I think it’s going to get a lot of kids that never would have had a chance to get swim lessons, that chance to get in a pool,” Ethan Johnson, head coach of the Des Moines Swimming Federation, said. “If we save one life, it’s all worth it.”
