True, but if I have no idea what swimming is, I surely will drown if I fall
into deep water. As I said before, both the internal and the external are
necessary.

I was thrown in the deep end of a pool by my cousin when I was a little
kid who did not know how to swim. I flailed and sank, and had to be
pulled out gasping.
After that experience, I made it a point to learn, in the shallow end, how
to swim. Then I went into the deep end on my own, and did not sink.
