　Scientists also know that a 　6　experience will do harm to a person's confidence． For example, if a nonswimmer (非游泳者) is 　7　deep water in fun, it will take him a long time to regain (恢复) confidence in the water．

　So learners-swimmers (初学游泳者) should take each step 　8　 ． The first thing to do is to gain confidence in the water． Never jump in at first． Sit on the side． Better still, walk slowly down the steps into 　9　water． Try to walk along the side of the bath． Duck (猛然低下) your head under the water, keeping your eyes open 　10　． Lift your feet off the bottom and let your body float to the surface． You will soon be ready to learn to swim．
