He jumped at the deep end of the swimming pool at 9 ft depth. Without a floaty! He was having so much fun playing in the water and had no idea he almost drowned.
This was how we ended up swimming with our jeans and shirt still on.
I was only replaying what happened just now and realized Gideon never really went below the surface of the water. He was trying to stay above water when I jumped next to him. I was on full on panic mode. But I had managed to have kept him afloat.
I was so embarrassed but I'm fine with it. All the while I was thinking Thank God my boy is alive. I was only embarrassed because I jumped fully clothed .

Thank you to one of Ate Eileen's guests who quickly helped us get out of the pool. I asked for helped but because I swallowed so much water it was very hard to speak. He only read my lips. 🙏
Lesson learned: No matter how cautious, attentive you are as a parent, your children will always leave you flabbergasted with their shenanigans.
P.S.
Jeff was outside when this happened. He was wondering why I was sitting next to the pool with Gideon with my clothes drenched in water. 😆
He had the audacity to take pictures of me wearing the sundress Ate Eileen lent me while I was getting in the car. 🙄
