I nearly drowned today - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Crusinforabrusin · 02-23-2016, 04:46 PM

So I was getting ready to go in the pool and I was doing everything I'd normally do. Then without looking, I accidentally jumped in the deep end. I immediately fell to the bottom of the pool struggling to keep my head above the water. I was trying to get help but I couldn't yell. Luckily though, there were other people around who help pulled me out. I must've been in an altered state of consciousness because I remembered it when it was happening, but I sor'tve forgot it happened after when I was out of the pool.

All in all, I'm glad I am still alive and people were around to help me.

Glad to hear you are OK. i almost drowned on September 20, 1987 while white-water rafting on the Upper Gauley River in West Virginia. Take it from me, going for a swim in Class VI whitewater IS NOT FUN!

My husband had a near drowning experience when he was a kid. He remembers it being not a bad experience . He said it was a good way to go. His brother rescued him. Glad you're ok!

I'm glad that you're okay...many people don't make it when they drown.

Good way to go? I don't think so. Struggling to stay afloat, not being able to breathe, knowing you're going to die. If you ask me, drowning is a bad way to die

I don't know. I'm only repeating what he has told me. He insists there was nothing to it! A kind of euphoria sets in. I have read about other accounts of this same thing by other people. To this day he is not afraid of drowning. I imagine that struggling to stay afloat would be terrifying. But he never mentioned that.He was caught in the undertow of a wave. I guess he was so young that he didn't struggle. I'll have to ask him about that .
