At some point you take the leap and suspended there for just a moment the fear in you peaks to crescendo and then evaporates as the wind rushes through your hair and the surface of the water seems to be heading toward you.

You break the surface, sink down and quickly come to the top. What were you worried about? That was easy, right?
