Right. I can't swim a lick. Once, while on a solo backpacking trip very much in the middle of nowhere, many tens of miles from the next person, and while navigating a river canyon, I fell into the cold water, well over my head. Somehow my toe touched something on the bottom and I rocketed out of the water like an explosion. The next thing I knew, I was flopped over onto a large rock like a fish, a few feet from where I fell in. I still have no idea exactly how that all happened, but near as I can guess I gave the best leap of my life and scrambled the rest of the way up. I really need to learn how to swim. :-(
