One day , while I was fishing at the shore, a big guy came and asked me: "Brother, how is the catch?".
I replied: "Got few small fish".
He thought for a while and said: " Did you notice some big fish out there at the open sea jumping out of the seawater, why doN'T you fish there?"
"Sir, how to?", I asked
"Easy leh, I got a family boat, and I used to catch real big fish there". He said.
"Well, I got no boat ma", I answered.
"No boat arh, I know you can easily hire a sampan to fish there", he happily suggested.
"Sir, what will happen when suddenly the wind become very strong, and wave become very rough" I asked stupidly.
"No problem, my boat will be just shake wildly but will not overturn, but, your sampan may overturn. Can you swim to the shore?" he asked.
"Me, I can't eh"
So are you a STRONG SWIMMER WHO REACH THE SHORE SAFELY WHEN THE SAMPAN OVERTURN DURING STRONG WIND AND ROUGH TIDE.
Most swimmers under-estimate that they can swim safely to the shore under strong wind and rough sea. Swimmers don't drown easily in the swimming pool, but at the high sea, it is not uncommon that they might perish.
