This same thing happened to me but in a lake just out of a boat. My 1yo daughter had a life jacket on but I didn’t as I’m also a strong swimmer and was just treading water. Realized super quickly that I couldn’t keep her safely afloat without sinking myself. Pretty scary 15 seconds until I got my family’s attention on the boat.

I’m a strong swimmer. Years ago I was treading water in the deep end of a pool near the side. Unthinkingly, my wife handed me my 6 month daughter. I realized quickly I could hold her head above water or mine, but not both. Fortunately I was close to the wall. I still ingested a lot of water. It’s no joke, it happens more easily than people think no matter how big and strong you are.

As a man with one nut.. this gag never stops amongst friends.

Me: "Man that almost hit me right in the nuts!"
Friend: "Don't you mean in the NUT?"

Haha yes thank you for reminding me that I had cancer. Good times.

(Seriously though, I use comedy / make fun of myself as a coping method and it got me through without too much despair)
