When I was only about six, I was standing in shallow surf at Bondi Beach, in Australia, and suddenly, woosh, I had been dragged out under the water ba rip, and I was 20 meters past the cosest swimmer. Fortunately, life savers rescued me, and although I had swallowed a lot of water, i was resusicated on the beach. After that holiday, I started swimming lessons. A frightening experience.

Well there was the time when I was a baby and I fell out of my dad's car. They didn't have child restraints or child locks on car doors back then. I have no idea if another car got anywhere near me before dad rescued me though.
