Mine was a near drowning too, except totally my fault. Tried to swim way further than I needed to be swimming, ended up in the middle of the lake and realized I was all outta gas. I was out there treading water trying to yell to people, finally my buddy heard me and came out and tried to get me on my back to swim me to shore, but I was already blacking out and couldn't hear him and was just thrashing around. He stayed out there even though he had just swam across the lake and back, and I was pulling him down with me. I blacked out in the water and some guy just happened to be going by on a jet ski and pulled me on and drove me back to shore. Was incredibly unpleasant to say the least and I can say drowning would be a horrible way to die.
Not to mention I'm still in debt to both of them.
