Yeah. Makes me wonder if I'm really alive or not sometimes. Cause that day, I should have drowned. I even remember breathing underwater.
There was a pool that was outside the house I used to live in a long time ago. A few years ago though, they turned it into a fountain. I was probably 4 or 5 years old. I was wading in the water until I felt a sharp pain in my right calf muscle til the point I ended up collapsing in the water. Since I didn't know how to swim or didn't screamed when I went under, I believe I stayed underwater for perhaps 2 or 3 minutes holding my breath trying to get my leg moving again. I ended up inhaling the water since I no longer could hold my breath. I swear, from this point on, it seemed like a dream. I actually started breathing under water. I opened my eyes and could see all the other peoples legs in the water and them moving around playing with a volleyball. I think no more than 20 seconds later, my dad finally pulled me out the water. Soon as he pulled me out, I strt coughing up a lot of water. Then I told my dad that I actually was breathing underwater when I slipped in. He didn't believe me. To this day, I remember everything that happened. I even remember the exact pool and spot it happened in. Went to google it and here it is:

Inside that red box used to be a pool but was turned into a fountain. And I was inside the red circle when I went under. And no I haven't attempted to see if I could breath underwater ever since that happened...:P
