Speaking of the uncanny feeling of shallow water, there are parts of the Florida keys where you can paddle a kayak a good half a mile from shore and still be in 2-4 ft of water. It's a great place to learn a new watersport as if you fall in you can just stand up.

Leeches freak me out, I can't imagine swimming with (or falling on) the gators!

Why? That's like being afraid of mosquitoes. You can't even really feel a leech.

Mosquitoes are the deadliest creature on the planet, to be fair.

Right wing politicians probably have them beat, especially this year.
