I was so excited we had a new pool! I was only around about 10, I think but I remember it very clearly. It was the first day of moving into our new house and I was so excited that we had a new pool. I was being a bit disobiedient and was over excited about our new pool. I didn't come out of the water when I was told and all of a sudden the water was above my head. I couldn't swim. I'd never had swimming lessons I just assumed it was easy. I started drowning. I touched the bottom of the water with my tippy toes and then tried to jump up high to get my head above the water. I tried and eventually I gave up. I didn't have the every to save myself now I just kept on bopping up and down in the water. Above and under the water I went for about 20 seconds. Then my mind became fuzzy. I suddenly felt tired, as if I was going to faint. How could i faint I was in water? I was hoping that my mum or big sister would be able to see me, but they couldn't they were talking to someone about the house. I was left to save myself. I suddenly face up, for a second i thought was it worth it. I was thinking maybe it would be better to give up now and have a more peaceful death. I kept trying for about 3 seconds and then finally gave up. That is when my older sister said it my mum, " I think she's drowning". I then sunk to the bottom of the pool. That is when my mum suddenly jumped in (which I realised after I had been saved that she had her phone in her pocket). Sorry mum! She dove to the bottom of the water and pulled me to the side of the pool and i was able to get out on my own. My mum had saved me. I will be forever grateful. I was so shook after that experience. The house wonders had no idea what had happened and just saw that I was standing out of the pool wet and freezing cold. I was so tired of let like fainting...again. This was definitely the scariest day of my life! I was traumatised form that experience and when ever my mum would try and teach me how to swim. I would just sit in the shallow area of the pool and be so scared. However now I love swimming and I am a pretty strong swimmer. However, that experience I believe made me a better swimmer today.
