Almost drowned in Panama City once, was at the beach and saw some bird a little bit away from the shore, so I thought, forget it, I'll swim up to it. Eventually I started getting pretty far before I realized the bird was actually drifting away from me. I realized that I was waaaaay out from the shore and I was exhausted, I started swimming back and if my friend didn't come out to meet me and help me back I might not of made it back.
