Famous quotes containing the word swimming:

    “Loosed betwixt eye and lid, the swimming beams
    Of memory, blind school of cuttlefish,
    Rise to the air, plunge to the cold streams....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Whenever parents become overly invested in a particular skill or accomplishment, a child’s fear of failure multiplies. This is why some children refuse to get into the pool for a swimming lesson, or turn their back on Daddy’s favorite sport.”
    —Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
