Once in my 10 grade holidays i went to beach with my friends during that time my two friends try to teach me swimming on the beach. what we do when the waves comes we jump together by joining the hand and they told me to shake my legs and hands. After some wave we decided to stop this with the last wave which is coming, but that one is big wave which take us in and in that time, my friends know some swimming and I don't know what to do, There is almost four feet water above me, i shake's my hand and got the loop of my friend pant in my finger and i never released and escaped from that wave. this is one of the moment i can't forgot in my life.

Yes, when I was about 5 or 6 an older friend was piggy backing me in the water. She came to a ditch and went under. I panicked and kept trying to get up on her head, all while pushing her under. Then out of no where a man swam over and rescued both of us. By the time I got the water out of my eyes, he was gone. He was honestly like an angel..I never saw him again. It was weird and bizarre but I am very thankful he was there.

I'm not a bad swimmer. But when I was doing my schooling during my swimming classes a gal who was swimming beside me pushed my head inside so that she will not get drowned,since she was not able to swim. I was literally gasping for air. She casually said a SORRY to me then. Can never forget that experience. I'm still not speaking with her for that reason

If I had drowned I wouldn't be sitting here and aswering this question. No I have never drowned. I guess yo wan tot ask if I have had a near drowning experience. Yes Once when i had just started learing how to swim, i dared to go to the deep end of the pool and thought let me give it a try. I started splashing water but kept going down. i drank a few gulps of water and woudl have gone down had someone not caught hold of my hand and pulled me to the side. But that did help me in learnign how to swim. I never dwrowned after that.
