But, at the same time, I feel like that was one of the very first things that did give me that opportunity to say, "Are you gonna crumble here?

Brooke BurnsI swim all the time at night - I've always been a water girl. It's a black-bottom pool and my pool light was out, and as I've done a thousand times I just kind of did a little seal dive. I saw a huge bright light and I literally thought, That's it.
