Hehe! Yes, we share a similar background! I once got dragged under water by an undercurrent when I was in my teens and could not stand up! My boyfriend saw me and grabbed me by my bathing suit! He had to pump water out of me because I was gasping to breathe!

I then had a similar experience in a wave pool when I fell off a raft and just couldn't resurface! The lifeguard didn't see me bobbing up and down, but thankfully my Dad did!
