I'm sorry if this comes across as crass (maybe you have a severe phobia) but to be clear, you panicked and thought you were going to die while at the halfway point of trying to cross a pool only 8 feet wide? even thrashing about should have been enough to get you across the remaining four feet to grab an edge, no?

Seems to be 8’ deep, not wide.

Yeah it was 8 feet deep (I mentioned my height for reference). I don't have any phobia of water. In fact, a week after the incident I signed up for more swimming lessons (8 1:1 sessions) and I believe I'm a pretty decent swimmer now. I was actually planning to start training for the Alcatraz swim but moved out of the Bay before that could happen!
