You panic quite easily, don't you?

Not at all.

BTW, panic in the air will kill you just as fast as panic in the water.

I'm not prone to panic in the air.

I have a friend like that, one helluva nice guy, but
he has a hard time figuring out fact from fiction,
he reads a novel and then believes it was his own
personal experience, and that becomes part of his
memory of something he actually did.
The shrinks likely have a name for that specific
syndrome. Of course everyone has an issue with
deciding fact from fiction, so I guess it's a matter
of degree.

Right, that's why you've almost drowned several times when all you had
to do was relax, lean your head back, and float.

Right.

I had not been taught what to do, and in one case the surf would have made it
difficult to just lie back and float (and unnecessary, since the water was
only a few feet deep).

How does anyone other than an infant "almost drown" in a few feet
of water?

And THAT is what this discussion was about, i.e. you almost drowning
several times.

By being capsized and held under (briefly) by the surf.

Bwawhahwhahwhhahwhahwhahwhah!

No wonder you're afraid of going for a walk. Probably afraid youre going to
be attacked by a pile of blowing leaves.

Right.

Since adults can go about 3 minutes without air, in other words, you
paniced and were thrasing around like a flounder instead of relaxing,
letting the surf pass, and simply standing up.
