when I was about 7(?) I started a new school. At my first PE lesson we were doing swimming. At this age I still couldnt swim (ikr?!!) and was not the Phelps like adonis I am in the pool now.
Everyone lined up and started jumping in and swimming unaided. When it came to me,rather than pipe up and say I couldnt swim and make a fool of myself in front of my new peers I decided to jump in and give it a go, it looked easy.
I started to drown so my PE teacher jumped in full shellsuit and pulled me out.

Please share a story below and don't feel it has to be of the high quality one I have shared. All are welcome!
