First time swimming

I have been in my home town for over a month now for holiday, finally is time to finally go back home since school is resuming soon but I promised before I go back home I have to learn how to swim. so I told my friends I would follow them the next time they are going out to swim.

the day finally came which was yesterday, so they came over to pick me up and my brother also said he was coming because I don't know anywhere there, though my brother can swim. at first, I thought they were going to the nearest river which was close by. until I saw them carrying a boat and I saw 2 oxygen tanks but I wasn't worried at first. Then my brother asked me can I stay calm underwater? because if I'm not I would drown...... I laughed why not ..meanwhile I don't know how to swim and I have never been under the water before even swimming pool.

so while going they carried two oxygen tanks for me and my brother but I don't see any reason why he need it because he was a good swimmer, and I remember while we were in the boat he keeps telling me if my oxygen tank finish what would I do? , I was like why is this guy disturbing the oxygen tank is filled up before they brought it here.

the boat keeps moving and I was getting scared because that was my first time being on a boat, so I asked... aren't we there yet?... they all laughed we are almost there.... I tried looking back and I couldn't see any land again so I started thinking about those tik tok videos of those sea creatures and monsters that live under the water and I started regretting why I followed them. but my brother was still calm while everything was happening.

we finally got to the point where I would learn how to swim, I told them .....I'm not getting out of this boat and you guys need someone to stay behind and I kept giving excuses. to cut the story short I was in the water already but I was using the oxygen tank even when I was on the surface 😂😂 and I was not planning to dive in at any moment.

so while swimming my brother just came out of no where and smacked the mouthpiece of the oxygen tank genuinely out of my mouth but unknowingly he did it when I was breathing out, I was literally exhaling when he smacked it out of my mouth now I have no oxygen in my lungs 😂😂. at that moment I was not panicking because I thought swimming was easy at that time. so I tried looking for my mouthpiece which has a long tube, while looking for it calmly I noticed I couldn't find it 😂😂 and I need to breathe as fast as possible. I know it was behind me but I just can't find it.

That is when panic sets in, I'm in the middle of no where 😂😂 I haven't been here before, my friends weren't aware what was going on only my brother did. but what I knew was that immediately my brother tried to help me, I immediately dragged his own mouthpiece and I thought I injured him when I did so because the mouthpiece was a rubber that you put in your mouth then clamp down with your teeth and it was not easy to remove from someone else mouth unless they allow you to. The way I ripped it off it was easy for me though 😅.

at that moment the oxygen was so delicious. genuinely I thought I was going to drown at that moment. while we were going back home, my brother then told me hope you know why I was asking you what will you do if the oxygen tank finish, and we both laugh.

it was a nice experience though but I survived though and I'm sure that's the last time I'm going to be underwater again even though it's a swimming pool or river I don't care 😅.

Thanks for reading ❤️
