Thank you
I can swim, but nearly drowned in a well known river that kids and old people swim in every fucking day. I managed to get out when I realised I was out of my depth (literally), looking back I did a pretty good job of just getting out casually and kept walking along, but fuck me I was scared
>cant swim
>21 year olds are know to do shit like push people in the water.
>goes to pool anyway
retard rule 1 of not knowing how to swim is avoid pools
I can imagine. The fight to keep my breath was the most difficult part for me.
I was pressured to go by friend at time with promise of learning how to swim. I was in the kiddy pool for short period but felt like pedo and quickly got out. Looking back it, it was dumb though.

My head never went under, i just walked into the river thinking I'd be fine, 20 seconds later I realised I was going too fast and starting to loose my cool so I fought a bit to get to the edge and got out. I was dumb enough to get in, but smart enough to get out as soon as I didn't like it.
Just dont go in rivers they're dangerous
>got shot at by a farmer when picking shrooms in his cow field
>played 1 solo round of russian roulette to impress people at a party
>played chicken (drove my car in the oncoming lane and just prayed the other car would swerve away in time)
>gun pulled on me by 12 year old mexican girl
>guns pulled on me by drug dealers
>got drunk and almost fell off a water tower, but a friend was able to pull me up while i was hanging on the edge
These were all when I was pretty young, so since arriving at adulthood, my moral compass is pointing in a more responsible direction.

If you're going to bullshit at least make it convincing
I'm not here to convince you. I came and answered honestly.
I got one. It's not a long one but it still scared the shit out of me.

People regularly underestimate rivers. That water is fucking powerful and if it takes you, you won't necessarily be in charge of what happens next.
Fucking hell take a swimming lesson. Imagine how retarded you'd feel drowning in the middle of a bunch of people because they can't even imagine you can't do something any three year old can do.
>about 10yo

Keep trying, user
First post was my only "try" lol. Sorry that this upsets you.
>Finish finals with not much sleep

>No cd player, only thing on radio is light jazz on npr
>start having long blinking

I know it was dumb, but I still like to blame the light jazz
Does jazz give you flashbacks now?
It does. I hear it and I'm like 'stop trying to literally bore me to death'.
Important life lesson: once you get the heavy eyes pull the fuck over.
My grandad died from leaving his car running in his garage. He was in his office and the fumes came in through the ventilation. My grandma almost died after she found him and called the police. The paramedics found her passed out.
tldr: don't cheap out on smoke detectors, get one that does carbon monoxide too.
There are plenty of shitheads like this, (no offense). I believe him.
>Decide to at least sit down at 9 ft
>pushes me into the pool
>take deep breath
>sink nearly 3/4 to the floor
And this is how I know this is bullshit. If you're sitting and get pushed, there is no way in hell you'll make it past 3 inches from the top with your lungs filled with air.
Considering that the human body naturally floats it's even more stupid.
I mean you're not wrong, but the initial reaction for people who don't know how to swim isn't to just lay back and fill your core with air.
It's like when people ride dirtbikes for the first time. Every time I teach someone and it goes wrong, it's because their first instinct when they want to stop is to panic and rev the throttle, which always ends in disaster.
For swimming, if you don't know what you're doing, the first reaction is to just close your eyes and paddle in a direction, and being in water is like being out in space. There are 3 directions that are not UP, so you have a 3/4 chance to blindly start going towards NOT OXYGEN.

To be fair, it is hard to recognize when someone is drowning. They don't splash and they don't call for help
See if you can
