    The drowning thing is spot on. Been there, done that, and I can swim just fine. Only way I’m alive is by chilling out, getting my lips above water and sipping air. Once I had enough to float, I floated.

    Watch some videos of people going down. They exhibit very similar behaviors. If you’re a parent, this is required watching.

    Plenty more out there, but what is described is exactly how I went down. And I was 20-yards from a certified life guard in an old cow pond.
