On last Monday, I and my friends visited Jati Sewu Cibungbang swimming pool, located at Baregbeg, Ciamis. I was excited when arrived there. I immediately took a picture, went for a walk around, and I was so happy.
I didn’t know why I was so happy. Maybe because after six months I never travel, just stay at dormitory. I thought so. Udahlah habis itu I prepared for swimming, because my plan was swimming. My friend, Unni told me about the swimming pool but I didn’t care and I just followed Aa who tried the depth of swimming pool. You can guest what happen next. Of course. I drowned, I was panic and Unni didn’t realize that I drowned. She thought that I and Aa played together in the pool. OMG!

And it was true! There was no one helped me. I tried for holding Aa’s hand but he tried to let my hand. Aa is my friend’s son. He is third grade of Senior High School which his body is smaller than me. You can imagine it! Ya Allah. My mind was messed up and I just thought that I would die at that time. I tried to do the same thing but it wasn’t work out. I’ve given up and then I heard my other friends shouted that I drowned. Habis diteriakin gitu barulah yang lain mulai panik dan berkumpul di pinggir kolam. Temanku itu langsung menceburkan diri dan membantu aku untuk keluar dari air. The process was not easy! Gak tahu kenapa susah sekali untuk aku menapaki tangga kolamnya dan aku malah kembali lagi ketarik ke dalam dan temanku mulai kewalahan karena aku susah didorong menuju tangga kolam. Finally, I tried hard to step on the pool ladder and alhamdulillah I could! Huhuuuu.
From this experience I got some lessons:
- Beware. Follow the instruction. If you go to the swimming pool please ask the pool guard about the depth of swimming pool. Jangan kayak aku langsung nyebur gitu aja.
- If your friend is talking please listen her/him. Don’t just ignore it. Aku kan gitu, coba kalau aku mendengarkan dengan baik, maybe I wouldn’t drown.
- Don’t be panic. Actually, kalau aku kemarin bisa tenang pas lagi tenggelam, aku bisa mengapungkan diri aku sendiri kemudian berenang sedikit ke tepian. Karena panik itulah aku malah mencelakakan diri aku sendiri.
- Lastly, I think this is very important. Kalau gak bisa renang dan ingin berenang kamu WAJIB ditemani oleh teman atau orang tua atau siapapun itu agar kamu terawasi. Udahlah gak bisa renang, renangnya sendirian nanti giliran tenggelam siapa yang mau nolongin? Aku aja yang ada temen mereka nyadarnya telat kalau aku itu sebenarnya tenggelam.
Truly, when I got out from the pool I was embarrassed and wanted to cry. I hope you can learn from my experience.
Have a great holiday!
Love,
