My 9-year-old sister, my grandparents and I went on their boat to one of the larger lakes in the area. My sister had never learned to swim properly, but had a lifevest on. While traveling to another area of the lake, and going pretty fast, my sister made a sudden movement and fell off into the water. I panicked, screamed some obscenities relating to stopping the boat to my Grandpa, and then actually dove in the water after her. I ended up being of no help. She was perfectly fine, though a little shaken up, and after recovering her they had to turn around and pick me up. They were a bit annoyed I had overreacted. Pretty embarrassing, but that's my most memorable summer memory.
