I remember a similar experience. All of us learned to swim at an early age so I must have been very young. I remember sitting on the edge of the pool and being dared by one of my brothers (this was the beginning of a trend) to leeeeeen a little farther forward. The next thing I remember is a lot of bubbles. I am surprised still at how long it seemed while I was sitting on the bottom. I rember sitting on the bottom of the pool and wondering what to do next. There was not an opportunity to panic since my father must have immediately followed me in (fully clothed) and pulled me out. I remember his face (angry/worried) as he was swimming down to me. The event must have occured in the space of a minute but seemed much longer. This is definitely a memory of the actual event. lol
