Whooooooooooooosh.
I think I was at least six inches shorter the last time I went swimming in the ocean. The experience hasn’t changed: there are many different sizes of waves, and some of them can knock me over, and some of them cannot; and some of them make me go under if they come when I’m floating, and some of them just rock me slightly; and after a few minutes of floating they will drag me out to a depth at which my feet cannot touch the sand. I do not think there is any human large or small enough that their experience would be much different. Maybe I will make a diagram.
