    I've nearly had kids jump on me. They knew I was swimming there and yet they jumped! They were inches from me and gave me a fright. My heart was beating so fast!

    yeah, happened to me as well.
    2 or 3 times, someone landed so close to me, if they had jumped just half a second earlier or if I'd been a tiny bit slower, they would have most likely broken my back or neck.
    Not just kids, adults can be just as oblivious and careless, and if you tell them "btw I was there, you nearly hit me full on", they most likely talk back to you and tell you it's your fault for being there^^
    (but germans do that all the time anyway, no matter the circumstances)

    and if you're in open water instead, you always have to watch out for boats/surfers.
    number one cause for diver deaths: run-in with boats.
    I know no apneist who hasn't had a close call at least once :/

    So I'm a very timid person and I'm not even comfortable swimming with lots of people around. But I took the plunge and took my new fin fun to the pool and was on the phone with my friend with my blue tooth headset. I brought all my gear so it looked like I knew what the heck I was doing. Goggles, many different nose plugs to test, and all. I'm very surprised that a few people on the board of our Home Owners Association were there and no one kicked me out. lol I was very respectful stayed on one side, didn't get in anyone's way and "practiced" getting used to the monofin. No tail cover, no leggings. Just the fin. I hope that this continues hehe.
