No. Though I came close once when my son decided to run straight into the deep end of a swimming pool and got there before I did.... he was only 18 months old at the time and couldn't swim and had run off before I had got his armbands on..... he sprinted straight past the children's pool and into the adult one! Luckily there was a man at the deep end who caught him as he fell in and handed him straight out to me as I came skidding up, but as I can't swim very well I had seriously thought I would need to grab the life buoy and jump in the pool to rescue my son. Scary moment!
