Are you a swimmer?

I still remember taking swimming lessons when I was 5 or 6. One of the instructors (unbelievably) thought I already knew how to swim and he threw me in the deep end. They had to come and pull me out. It wasn't a fun experience but luckily it didn't keep me away from pools for the rest of my life.

I had a drunk uncle do that to me when I was a kid at bbq. He picked me up and said "do you know how to swim yet?" and threw me in. My aunt jumped in and fished me out. I can still see up through the water in my memory clear as day. I'm lucky too it didnt scare me out of the pool forever! People are so dumb!
