 boy scout in attendance didn't jump in turn out it turned out he had his phone in his pocket a big no-no so i swam to her and hauled her out she said she had always been a good swimmer but must have been out of practice that's an important point don't jump in the water unsafely if you haven't been swimming in a while especially if there's a current or a riptide having even a noodle in the water with you is fun use flotation so kirsten a lot of people swam a lot when they were kids but it might have been 20 years
