My mother often tells the story of how I nearly drowned when I was 2 in a friend's pool.

I have a very vivid memory of me underwater , and in no way panicked at all, watching this little blonde girl in a pink dress floating like a little starfish in the water of a pool...I'm looking straight at her and she seems fairly unfussed as well. Of course only a few years ago did I realise that I was watching myself. Mum was always amazed how calm I was when a guy pulled me out.
