This happened to me once. I was only a teenager but a decent enough Swimmer, but having someone struggling to swim, drowning and desperately pulling you under with them is next level terrifying shit. I was dunked under multiple times. And I didn't even intend to "save" them, I was just suddenly grabbed onto
The situation that got me out was something just snapped in me, and I decided to dive down instead, complete self preservation kicked in and teen me knew I was out of my depth, the other kid obviously couldn't follow me or grip onto me down there, I actually distinctly remember them "kicking" my back/buttocks while I dove down as they used my body as a platform to jump up for another breath.. anyways was fuckin fine and popped out a meter or two away. Kid ended up fine Lifeguard got to him/her, but it taught me if they're not letting me swim back up without them, then I'll have to swim down. You still couldn't waterboard me into going into to rescue a drowning person.
Still no idea how kid me was smart enough to come up with that on the spot while also thinking younger me it was a good idea to play dare by sticking my head underwater in between the ladder notches and getting stuck to see who could get out the fastest. God Kids are fucking dumb.
