Never got that question, but it's really a non issue for me. I'm a very strong swimmer. One of my first memories is my mom teaching me with her friend. I remember because she was walking(in the pool) away from me and I felt angry about that. But Mom is a strong swimmer who has put on some weight in her later years and can easily float if she is calm. I also don't think I ever dated someone I didn't go swimming with at some point very early in the relationship. Having the ocean 10 minutes away growing up, I spent a ton of time at the beach. More than most! I know cause I was hanging with friends, and they gave me an edible before going to the beach. It was way too strong for me so I told them I gotta lay down but for them to look out for the bioluminescent plankton. They didn't believe me it was real. Then they got to experience that magic, and were so blown away they came back to wake me up and tell me about it and try and get me to come back with them. I declined, cause again, uncomfortable high and also I had seen the shit a couple dozen times by then.

Sorry about the long response, I was waxing nostalgic.
