Why did Douglas have an aversion to water from his childhood ?

Douglas had had an aversion to the water from the very beginning. It started when he was three or four years old and his father had taken him to the beach in California. His father and Douglas stood together in the surf. Douglas hung on to his father yet the waves knocked him down and swept over him. He was buried in water, his breath was gone and he was extremely frightened. His father laughed but the terror had struck deep in his heart.
