Sorry you had that experience surprisetalk. Glad for you that it was all ok.

Theres a saying that comes to my mind, I think it used to be a lot more common.

"it only takes 6 inches of water to drown"

Fall funny, get nocked out and land in a puddle or whatever, or cant lift your head out of it for whatever reason etc etc.

I am VERY conscious of water & my kids, being a scuba diver myself I have a fair respect for the sea as well, and still we have had experiences that left us a little shook.

I feel like I should point out here that surprisetalk (who posted the link) isn't jefftk (who wrote the post).
