Rod, I'm glad to hear it turned out well. The adverts are true, you don't hear it happen.
I recall when I was ten walking past the backyard swimming pool and seeing my two year old brother lying face up and immobile at the bottom with his blue eyes wide open. I've no idea how long he was there, but it couldn't have been too long because he came to life after I got him out. It was pure arse, without thinking I'd quickly pulled him up by his legs and as he came out the water flowed from his mouth, clearing his lungs. Little prick owes me big time!
BTW I've got five daughters and the thought of unfenced pools scares the shit out of me. Some people still insist on not fencing them because they don't think it will happen in their pool....
