Okay, here's the story of how my ability to swim saved my life...
One of my husband's coworkers has a son who owns a catamaran (sp?). A couple of summers ago, coworker and son offered to take us both out on the water. Coworker's wife wisely stayed on dry land.
So we went out a ways, and returned... it was fun. Coworker and son were trying to steer the boat back toward the dock... when it flipped over and all four of us were suddenly in the water. It was about 20 minutes before a yacht happened by and we were rescued.
Did I mention, no life jackets... If I were unable to swim I'd be dead right now. Then again, if I were unable to swim I wouldn't have gone out there in the first place.
