From what I remember I was in chest high water and I made a step in what felt like a sinkhole. If my uncle wasn't nearby that probably would have the end for me. I was struggling to get back up for air. He grabbed me just in time.

Pretty much the same exact thing happened to me when I was about 6 yo or so but I had a cousin who pulled me to safe ground - At first as I struggled they thought I was joking.  Scared the hell out of me.

Almost drowning because you don't  know how to tread water or just float is about as good a reason to learn as there can be.  Also if you are ever in the reverse situation you want to be able to help someone else if at all possible.

How long is the pool you swim in? I'm going to try to work my way up to 100 laps in my pool. Started yesterday and did 8 lol. 

It is 25 yds.  70.4 laps is a mile.  When I 1st started I could not complete an entire lap.  My advice, be patient.  Set small goals and over time you will have made a lot of progress.

So right now my plan is to work my way to 100 laps total in a session with breaks as often as needed. my pool would be a little more than 25 yards (40 feet each way). Then once I'm able to complete 100 laps with breaks I'm going to work towards doing 100 consecutive laps. I don't know if I'll get there in 4 months but we will see. I did 16 laps today, was in the pool for about an hour. Basically 2 or 3 laps at a time with long breaks in between. My biggest problem is I don't know how to turn lol

I don't know how to turn either...I go down with freestyle stroke then I come back with backstroke (the latter really good for back muscles, which I need).  Down and back is 2 laps...50 yds in the pool I use. Being in the water and moving is a lot better than not!  Don't stress your muscles or joints too fast.  Listen to your body.  Be patient...you'll get there. 🏊‍♀️

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
