  • My worst experience (that I can think of right now) was in middle school I went with a friend to her family's vacation house in Long Island. We were swimming around not too far from shore in about waist deep (for me at the time) water when a giant wave hit and swallowed me.. for about 10 seconds I had no idea which way was up and I felt like I was in a washing machine, or enduring a very intense exfoliation treatment!... Fortunately her father waded over, fished around with his hand and pulled me out of the water gasping.. whew! That was a very long 10 seconds or so.. (and it was probably actually shorter than that, but I sure was scared at the time!) :rolleyes:
