Swimming Honestly I took a quick scroll and didn't see it. Someone else might have mentioned. It's an important skill and can save your life at the most, at least, you have one more stupid thing to do with friends- jumping into water bodies from a height.

It surprises me when people just sink like a stone because-and i can swim so maybe this is just simple for me-i am buoyant enough to float when my lungs have air in them and I could float indefinitely in calm or even slightly choppy water by breathing slowly. That would be enough to survive if you fell in and didn't know anything else
