their native language.

separate medical condition which can result and loose joints easily bruised skin and other problems.

Passage 2
There is something about water that makes it a good metaphor for life. That may be one reason why
so many people find relief in swimming when life seized get rough. And [12]it goes some way
towards explaining why books about swimming, in which people tackle icy legs, race and rivers,
and overcome oceans while reflecting on their lives have recently become so popular. 
These books reflect a trend particularly strong in Britain, where swimming in pools is declining, but
more and more folks are opting for open water. While swimming seems to be especially popular
among women. [13]Jenny landreth recently published a guide to the best swimming spots in London.
Her new book swell into weaves her own story with a history of female pioneers who accomplished
remarkable feats paved the way for future generations. [14]Notions of modesty restricted women in
the Victorian era, but they still swam. A bathing machine was rolled down to the sea shore, so women
would not be seen in swim wear in 1892,[14] the gentle woman's book of sport described a woman
swimming in a heavy dress, boots, hat, gloves and carrying an umbrella. 
Eventually swimming became freer. Mixed bathing was permitted on British beaches. In 1901,
women won the right to swim in public pools, learn to swim properly, created appropriate swimwear,
and in time even competed against men. [15]The first woman to cross the English channel was
Gertrude Elderly. In 1926, she beat the record by almost two hours and her father rewarded her with
a red sports car.
