fukked up.
I can attest to how much of a short distance that shyt looks in real life. My boy had a lake house and we pretty much spent every summer there.
There's houses right across the lake so when you you stand on the shore you're like "

I can do that!"
You get in that water and swim out.....it's a long daunting swim back. We tried that and did that. Fortunately none of us died thinking we were invincible or we could tough it out.
We had actual swim lessons too, grew up swimming every summer, pools, the lake. Even cats that long distance swim have dudes in a canoe next to them so they can stop, hold on and catch a breath.
