It is important that where there is a pool of water it is important to let people know how deep the water is by putting written signs next to pool as due to the noise of people talking I did not hear the guy announcing there the other end was deep. This is by the pool that was dug into the ground had a shallow and dip end which I did not know. I slip at the point where the shallow end was ending if that makes sense therefore when I slipped into the water I then hit the group which was slippery therefore I slipped into the the deep end. I nearly drowned as I had gauged the depth on the pool by the other participants as the water was up to their waist line which was ok for me but when slid into the pool it felt like I was pulled into the deep end , which was way to deep for my comfort. I can swim but not in very deep water as I need to stop here and there so when I cannot touch the bottom of the pool I am not comfortable with that. As a result I panicked and I could not breath and it was not nice . I have never felt that vulnerable like I did, I thought for a second I was going to drown. It took a few seconds which was too long for me when struggling before anyone noticed that I was struggling to keep my head above the water. Our boot instructor Sam jumped in the water to rescue me and some of my peers helped. I am not sure whether the guy "Usher" at the pool can swim and if he is a life guard and what his role was. Anything could have happened on that day and after the incident I felt very dizzy and fell on the ground. After a few minutes of rest I carried on as I did not want to give up. Another thing was the water was too cold. How many days was the water in the ground before the event ? I think it would be helpful to put a note on the side with the temperature of the water as I think I could have gone into hypothermia as the cold water especially on my head did affect me as when I slip into the pool I went under the water and over my head for too long. On the other pool made of hay stacks I had another episode of feeling dizzy and shaky after coming out of the water and we realised that the cold water was affecting me and by that time i could not go back so I carried on. thanks to my peers and also I got a heating blanket which was too small so did not help much. I did not enjoy the event as much as I was hoping. I am happy to speak to someone if that will help to get a clear understanding of my experience. I know this is the last one for now but I really want to be heard and I did not have a nice experience. Having said that if there was another event I would do it again but avoid pools of water. lol

Had a great time however should have worn gloves as recommended (and ones with grip) as my hands got very cold and I was unable to grab onto ropes or the monkey bars which I really wanted to do.
