贝丝•戴维斯(Beth Davis)在科罗拉多州博尔德(Boulder)开设了一个游泳培训班。戴维斯表示,到她这里参加游泳培训的成年人的人数近几年增长了将近一倍,2009年她只有34个成年学员,现在已经达到67个。曼哈顿游泳学校AquaSkills的创始人兼校长洛瑞•帕里特(Lori Pailet)称,在她这里,成年学员每年一般会递增15%-25%。参加AquaSkills的游泳培训需要支付注册费100美元,选择10节私教课程的费用是1200美元。
Mr. Pace, who is taking lessons at AquaSkills, says his parents never knew how to swim and raised him in New York City, where he didn't have easy access to a pool. 'Most of my friends at the time didn't know how to swim, so it didn't seem like a big deal,' he says.
佩斯就在AquaSkills学游泳。他表示,他的父母一直不会游泳,他是在纽约市长大的,那里很难找到一家游泳馆。而且,他说,“那时候,我身边大多数朋友都不会游泳,因此不会游泳好像也无所谓。”
Joseph Riggio, who lives in Brooklyn, also signed up for swim lessons at AquaSkills, where his biggest hurdle has been overcoming an intense fear of the water. He says his father believed the best way to protect his son was to make him afraid of the water. Mr. Riggio recalls a trip to Coney Island when he was about 7 years old in which his father pushed him under the water repeatedly.
家住布鲁克林的约瑟夫•里焦(Joseph Riggio)在曼哈顿经营着一家名为“New York Pizza Suprema”的餐馆,他也报名参加了AquaSkills的游泳课,而他面对的最大挑战是要克服自己对水的强烈恐惧。里焦说他这么怕水是因为在他小时候,他父亲觉得让他怕水是保护他的最好方式。里焦还记得自己七岁到康尼岛(Coney Island)旅游时,父亲曾不停地将他按到水里。
