Borodkin Offers to Teach
Swimming at the Center
Joshua Borodkin, Center
Swimming director, states:
"The mind is the greatest factor
in controlling human behavior.
Whether we are afraid or exhil-
arated depends on our attitude
concerning the water. There is
no one who cannot readily be-
come acclimated to the water. A
group which is particularly dif- .
ficult to acclimate to the water
are persons who have been seri-
ously handicapped by infantile
paralysis. These people's fear is
doubled because in their mind
they are convinced that . their
physical handicap has made them
different from other people.
From personal experience with
them, I found that they are not
too difficult to• accustom to the
water.
"The average person can learn
to swim in a period of 68 • hours
under competent instruction.
Won't you come down to the
Center and give it a try? I will
be glad to help you."
