No excuse for anyone not knowing how to swim.

I just don't understand how after presumable decades of watching others swim, once in the water you wouldn't at least doggy paddle to the edge. I guess panic plays a role. Very weird.

I learned to swim at 5. After getting tired of me begging to have him take me in the pool, my father pretty much pushed me down the slide and let me go. I swam fro that day forward. It truly was sink or swim.
