Hey, are you interested in coming river tubing with us?

What's that? Never heard of it.

You just get a big comfy tube and float very slowly down a river. We bring snacks and drinks and soak up some sun.

Sounds good!

So this is tubing.

Mhm.

Pretty chill.

It would probably be helpful to know how to swim though.

What?!

Oh, I can float and not drown, that's not a risk. But I don't know how to move efficiently and gracefully through water.

Oh, ok. Well, try not to tip over then.

SPLASH

OH NO OH NO

Just stand up

OH NO OHHHHH NO

Just STAND UP

I CAN'T

yes you can just put your feet down

...

Ah.

Really freaked out there didn't I.

Yup.



Really learning some things about myself today.

Tubing

New comic! My sense of self prior to this was basically 'hates being wet but can swim fine' and it turns out that the reality of me being in any kind of moving water is PANIC and it's interesting that I made it to my mid30's without really know this about myself.
