when you throw a person who does not know how to swim.  into deep water, his reflex is to struggle to stay afloat and breathe.  The more he struggles, the more he is vulnerable to drown.  We know the way to deal with this situation is to relax and let the body be afloat without unnecessary motion.  We also know there is no time to think when faced with such situation.  We were TAUGHT such survival skill and practice until it becomes a natural reflex.  People say putting a man in a “sink and swim” situation is the fastest way to learn and grow.  Maybe people do not mean it literally, but what does “literally” mean nowadays?
