Nearly drowned after swimming out into the sea. Was feeling pretty confident and didn't notice the strong sideways current until I tried swimming back to shore. Lost most of my energy in trying to do so, then panicked, making me lose control and was only able to hold on for dear life on the last vestiges of body strength to avoid drowning until a lifeguard rescued me.

Not my brightest moment in life.
