John  felt embarrased to see this because it was something he could'nt do at first.After days of practising and a day before they could go home,he thought he could do what those boys did.To swim through the same tunnel of that rock and come out on the other end was his dream and he could finally achieve it.He has to be faced with many obstacles through the tunnel.The water pushed  him against the  roof of the tunnel and it was sharp and painful.His head knocked against something which made him dizzy and he struggled passionately as he was running out of air.Also,his nose bled as a result.All in all,it was a sign of  victory in the end,he could possibly do what those big boys who were older than him did.His mother knew that her son,Jerry could really swim and yes,it was of great importance to go to the bay from that day.
