When you start to be pulled out to sea your first instinct is to panic and you get worn out trying to swim out of it. That’s when it gets you
And panic is a real thing you can’t control. If you can gather your wits before fighting too much, you can probably swim out of it.
I grew up on a lake, been swimming since I was 5, and damn near drown after falling out of a boat a few yrs ago. Literally forgot how to swim for a good 5 seconds head bobbing and gasping for air before realizing I was a goner if I didn’t calm down and lay back to float. Scary shite bro.

I’ve mentioned this before but I was never afraid of drowning bc I knew how to float and bob until I could swim parallel out of it. That didn’t make me panic but a couple times I was pulled out extremely far and the water got darker and colder. I didn’t physically panic but my heart was beating fast as I imagined what could be under or near me. That unknown shite is terrifying.
