I learned to swim when I was around 6. I have swam in pools, ponds, rivers, lakes and oceans. I have no problem with large bodies of water no matter what size. I didn't think it really mattered how much water there was, if you know how to swim, you swim. You won't drown unless something tragic happens...you swim in an ocean just like it was a swimming pool.
However, I have learned in my life that there is a certain body of water that is just the right amount that could put you in danger of drowning if you aren't careful. Funny thing is, it's not very much water at all. A tiny little amount in relative terms. About the size of a tear. Or two...or three.
The only body of water I have ever feared drowning in is the one made up of all the tears I have shed in my life...and not just any tears...not the ones caused by others...but the ones I have caused myself. Those are the most toxic and most likely to fill my lungs and drag me under.
You would think I would keep that in mind. That toxic body of water that grows deeper with every new addition I give it.
