Well one time when i was young i was in a public swiming pool and i saw people on the deep side, and when i went to the deep side i couldnt go back up, i tried to signal the lifeguard, but he didnt even look, finally another one of my freinds came and he saved me, and the lifeguard got his license revoked and probably wont be able to be a lifeguard ever again lmao.

The life guard should have been watching so see if anyone was in trouble in the water. It was shocking that you were almost about to drown and he didn't notice you. Oh my! It was so incredibly lucky that your friend managed to save you.
I love to go snorkeling. In 2002 I was in Samoa snorkeling in the sea that was a marine reserve in the capital city, Apia. I had to swim out quite far to get past the pole that showed the start of the coral I was enjoying myself looking at all the wonderful coral and the current was quite fast. I looked up and noticed that I was far out because I could see ships and land looked far away. I tried to swim back but the current dragged me out and I couldn't swim against it. I swam in a semi circle back into the bay and felt exhausted by the time I got back to the beach.
In 2005 I went to the Maldives. I went on a boat with some German people. We went snorkeling but the water was so rough. The waves tossed me around and sea water kept getting into my snorkel. I was terrified and I wasn't enjoying myself at all. I was close to tears and it felt like I had drifted far from the boat. I felt like I was going to drown. A German guy grabbed me and helped to get back to the boat luckily.
