I suspect many of us are lucky to have survived childhood (and young adulthood). What was your scariest moment?

    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
