Swimming Woes.
I can't swim very well at all! From thrashing around in the pool for an hour yesterday, I've concluded that the only way that I am ever going to stay afloat is with my belly down and my head tucked snugly under water. That works out just fine, if all I have to do is swim 10 yards.
Toss in an additional level of complexity, such as breathing, and I am screwed. When I stick my head out to breathe, I cease to remain horizontal, and drown. If I don't stick my head out, I swim well for some distance, filling my lungs up with water in the process, and drown.
Sigh. And my poor mom spent all of 150 rupees (yep, that's $3) for swimming lessons when I was 12. I expect that the mob will have very little trouble making me disappear when they come to get me.
