I did laugh, because I have been there! I didn't worry about drowning, but the last time I went swimming (about 10 years ago), a couple of my friends and I were playing diving for the penny. I could NOT, no matter how hard I tried, reach the bottom of the pool! My fat would buoy me back up after each stroke moved me down a bit. Man, it was funny. I felt like I had a life jacket on, I was floating so high in the water when I treaded water. That is a really happy memory, because of laughing and having fun! Never did get that penny, though (we blamed my friend who was part fish for always getting it, instead of my low-density body composition that hindered me!). (the other friend didn't like getting her hair underwater, in spite of the swim cap, so really had no chance at the penny unless it landed near her on the edge of the pool)
