Deep Water Regret at Water Park
Almost Drowned
There’s certain things that happen that you get yourself into. You without a shadow of a doubt put yourself in that situation. So there’s no one to blame or point fingers to but yourself. That’s the fact of life. In 2021 a lot happened to me and I will never forget it. I was exploring all in the name of fun, but knew my inability or weakness. I was in denial. Oh, what a big mistake I made. I recap on when I went to this gargantuan water park.
Went to a water park with the family. It was summertime and I wanted to take them out. We were in for a treat. Got there, changed ourselves in the dressing room and headed to the water rides. We tried damn near everything together. There was even a pool that we swam in together. There was nothing but fun, excitement, enjoyment and happiness. What a blissful place that gives you joy, nostalgia. This water park puts you on cloud 9. This water park is flamboyant and dynamic. It has the most amazing water rides.
I found myself in a situation I’ll never forget. I was at the water park and I saw one particular ride that caught my attention. I was completely blown away by the ride. I wanted to try it immediately, so I did. It had a long slide and the water was 10 feet. Went over and waited in the line. It was my turn, the worker asked me if I can swim and I said yes. She asked me how well can I swim and I said I can swim decently enough. I’m no pro at swimming, but can manage.
I got on the slide and down I went. I kept going until I went off the slide and got into the water. It then dawned on me that I had made a big mistake. I was in deep water and couldn’t bring myself up. I was drowning. I trying to get myself up to the surface, but I couldn’t. I was completely devastated. I thought it was my end. I was moving my arms around trying to get myself up from beneath the water. I then realized that I had made a big mistake that was too late to correct. I then thought to myself that my life is over, it has come to an end.
I saw my life flash right before my eyes and I felt it was my end. What a blunder. I was going to die and there was nothing I could do about it. I should have known better. I should have known that it was a big mistake. I was deceiving myself. How could I be so ignorant? It looks like I was about to meet my fate. 10 feet water was about to take me away from my family. I am done for. Everything looked bleak. There’s no coming back from this. What a horrific, preventable circumstance that has occurred. I was about to kick the bucket and couldn’t obstruct it. I was abducted from the water.
To my surprise, I was held by someone and placed on a rescue board. My life had been saved by a lifeguard. How fortunate. I was so relieved. She brought me out of the 10 feet body of water. I was gasping for air, trying to catch my breath. I was so relieved to be able to breathe in air. The lifeguard asked me why I wasn’t able to swim. She thought I could when I said so. So it made me look like a liar. She took my information and I had to sit down somewhere to relax myself. I was glad to be alive.
