Back in the year 1988, when I was once a spirited and timid youthful girl of five, my father who was then a reputable Marine Engineer took me to my foremost beach jaunt along with my other siblings. Boy, did I have such a blast! Despite my obvious lack of skill in swimming, I embraced the cold salty waters of the beach while forcefully flexing my arms and legs trying my best to swim as far away as I could from the safety of the shores.
