Okay, so I checked off one thing on my bucket list today. Cracking the breathing while swimming laps. Learned to swim when I was around 10 in Trichy in an Olympic size pool. Dived off the highest platform, shaking and shivering, et al. And then a long break meant that the skills that were just-learned-but-not-really-used rusted away. The weekend I got engaged, I almost drowned. Sheer arrogance, was swimming along without a life jacket after a whole day of tubing with one, couldn't find the bottom with my feet (we were in shallow water the whole day), panicked and froze and almost drowned.
