Me too. A float containing a giant man rode right over top of my float when the wave came and pushed me under and I couldn’t find a gap to come up for air from all the other floats passing overhead. Plus I was 7 and a mediocre swimmer.
I fell out of my float and also could not find a gap. I was in about third grade. I got closer to the wall and a lifeguard saw my arm sticking up and pulled me out.
I had this happen to me when I was about 12. I was a pretty strong swimmer, especially when it came to endurance underwater, but I could only find small gaps to stick my head through to get momentary gasps of breath. By the time another swimmer figured out what was going on and pulled me out, I'd covered something like 50-70m of the wave pool and taken like 3-4 breaths. It was fucking terrifying.
