more than swimming? seems surprising
Swimming is where it's at! Sounds like a little went a long way.
Why not just jump into the water?
if you can swim and you aren't in the middle of the ocean you are ok...
I just wanted to swim with it... :(
Good, because if you can't swim, it only takes one time!
You’ve been swimming in pools your entire life. Somehow you are still alive. Maybe it is way less of a deal than it actually seems.
"Why my swimming practice, which involved me swimming the english channel every day, eventually led me to drown."
I didn't know how to swim efficiently: if you threw me in the pool, I wouldn't drown, and I could maybe do one continuous lap (50m) if I pushed myself.
Yeah, climbing out of the water was a bad idea :)
