The Time I Almost Drowned
Have you almost drowned before? Well when I was 5 years old I almost did. It was a really hot day, and my mom and my neighbors across the streets mom were really good friends so they decided it would be a good idea to have both of our families go to the beach. And I liked the other kids across the street so I like the idea too.
When we got to the beach nobody was there besides us so that was cool. And this beach was one of those beaches where you had to go extremely far out just for it to get up to your neck because of all of the sandbars that were everywhere so it took like 20 minutes to get that far out.
And when we got out we did what you’d usually expect kids to do at the beach, but then we were gonna see who could stay underwater the longest, and the whole time there were waves, they weren't strong waves or anything, but enough to move a bunch of little kids. And I knew that I’d win because I could hold my breath for a really long time, and so when we were underwater the waves pushed us and the waves ended up pushing me a few feet out further and while I was underwater I didn't even notice. …show more content…
So I calmed down for a little bit but then I could feel myself losing breath so I struggled to get back up and I was losing breath fast. I didn't even know if I was going up or if I was going down. But then I see a bunch of bubbles and a little bit of light so I went that direction. I eventually after so much force got back up and took a huge breath, I was about 15 feet away from everyone else and they are acting like nothing
