    The differences nearly got me killed one day when I was swimming. 4 meters is not the same as feet.

      this would be where i would make a joke about americans but i know many people who would probably try to dive into a 4 foot deep pool so it goes both ways

      I can imagine. I mean I’ve been swimming a lot in my youth, so I’d think I have a fair chance if it happened to me but it just sounds gruesome. What if I get a toe in my mouth and choke?
