Transcript:
Schroeder, in his swim-trunks, stands next to an inflatable pool. Charlie Brown points to it and says, "Go on, Schroeder, get in...don't be scared!"<BR><BR> Schroeder sits in the pool. Charlie Brown waves his hands and continues, "Now, lie on your stomach, and move your arms like this...you have to get right down in the water...don't be a coward!"<BR><BR> Patty arrives and asks Charlie Brown, "Why don't you get in and show him how?"<BR><BR> He replies, "Not me! I'm scared to death of water!"<BR><BR>
Apparently he learned pretty well, because in the 8/31 strip, he jumps right in.
