nearly drowning because i over estimated my swimming ability and stamina.
Just because I'm a pedantic fuck, you *overestimated not underestimated.
I'm glad you're ok though.
I was living next to a sea most of my childhood, and we called this "Wednesday"
Seriously though it's impressive the only person I knew drowning during my childhood in our little town was some guy who fell in water piss drunk and got stuck under dock.
in my situation i was trying to cross a lake. tried to stay calm and just tread water, but i was too exhausted and kept going under. luckily a lady in a small boat threw a couple fun noodles to me and that was enough to help me back to shore.
its hazy now but i think i tried floating on my back and doing butterfly strokes at some point but i think i just panicked when i started feeling tired.
I had several nearby situations during early autumn storms, the waves and the stream gets crazy strong but it's fun to swim there on the base rock beach. Sometimes it's just crazy difficult to get out of the water. You can be swimming with all your power 1 meter off the safe
