As a Cajun I practically lived by or in the water, joined the Navy, got into UDT, found out I didn’t know ? about the water. Taught my kids about the water in our pool. Now a hot shower is all I like.
I nearly drowned twice and can say coughing up water is not pleasant. Once was during swimming lessons, once when knocked out of a boat by an asshole. Yeah, the second time I lost consciousness. So not everyone can swim. I learned later my dad had the same experience of having to have the water pumped/coughed out after taking in a lung full.
