Das Waldschwimmbad
Harry my husband and I lived in Germany at the time, it was in 1977. It was a nice warm summer day that we decided to go for a swim. That day my little nephew had no school, because of summer vacation. So we thought all three of us could go to the woods, were their was a small lake to go swimming.
We packed blankets and towels, and off we went. It was pretty busy over their. Lots of folks their. When we got here we looked for a nice shady spot to lay down and found one by some pine trees. We unfolded our blankets and lay ed down for a while. Boy was it hot out. Well, after being here for a while, we decided to go swimming. My nephew was all exited, but he couldn't swim. Harry said to him, hop on my shoulders I'll carry you into the water. Well they did.
We were all laughing and having fun. Harry was walking a little bit further out. I already swam around and felt the weeds around my legs. Which I didn't care for. It kind of scared me to get tangled up in them, so I swam back and just watched those two have fun.
Harry started to hop up and down with my nephew on his shoulders a few times, when he suddenly went under the water. My nephew was so scared he clung on so tied and choked and pushed him down , to stay above the water. As Harry came back up, he went under about three times . My nephew started to cry, I swam over to them and pulled Harry and my nephew over to me, then I pulled my nephew off of my Harry and Harry finally found ground under his feet were he could stand and get out of the water.
That was such a scary situation. I can't imagine how those two felt, because my heart was pounding real fast. Never the less, we dried up, picked up our blankets and left.
My nephew still in tears from the shock cried almost all the way home. That's the last time we went for a swim in the lake. That was a close call, that day. I don't want to brag on my self, but if I wouldn't have been their at the time, those two might have drowned that day.
