I haven't actually been drowned, but my brother has pushed me underwater in a swimming pool on holiday when i was a teenager. When i was a child my dad took me and my cousin out in a blow up boat in the sea at the beach when we was on holiday, and a big wave knocked the boat upside down and me and my cousin went under water, but we could both swim and the water wasn't too deep so we were both ok. The only thing that happened was we both swollowed abit of water but stood up above the water and my dad found us straight away. Thats the nearest i've come to drowning in water. ~Joeys wife

Only once in a summer. When I was 10 years old I went to a reservoir with my parents and uncle. I can't swim but I am in the water with a buoy to get rid of the heat. I took off the buoy and tried to walk in the water, suddently I came into a deep area and the surface reach my nose. I exclaim aloud and my father came and support me back.

I dont know how to swim. Therefore, i seldom visit the swimming pool. However, the chances of me getting drown can be considered high and low( ironically though).

yes, i was once close to drowning i think that was when i was about 7 years old. We were happily bathing in the river which has deep water with strong current because of a heavy rain the night before. I was at that time trying to learn how to swim when i was suddenly carried by the water flow. I can still clearly remember how i panicked under the water while saying to myself oh my god i'm gonna die. Good thing before i passed out for having drunk so much water i was rescued by one of my cousins. It was really one such horrible experience i will never forget. For obvious reason, i didn't ever learn how to swim.

Luckily I haven't been drown . But I did really be afraid of water before I learned swimming .
