Is it just me, or does Ash drown...

A lot.

I honestly can't remember any episode involving water where Ash doesn't get stuck underwater, goes down to deep, or is thrown into the water without almost drowning.

Just a thought.
 
I personally think he should drown more often.
 
I remember him drowning in "The Pi-Kahuna", "The Joy of Pokemon", "Holiday Hi-Jynx" and "Whiscash and Ash". Am I missing an episode? Anyways, yeah he should get swimming lessons.

Edit: "Legend of Dratini" too

It is just a plot device used to increase drama by showing a character closeness to death, (though it will never happen). It also gives a great opportunity to do recap on old episodes. This event, however, occurs very rarely. ;025;

It's not that Ash can't swim. In the Dratini one and the Whiscash one, he swam down into the water, but he blacked out because he couldn't hold his breath after a while. And didn't a wave hit Ash in the Hi-Jynx episode to make him go under? I forgot what happened.

Wasn't it in the first episode where he was sucked underwater and almost attacked by a Gyarados before Misty pulled him up with her fishing hook?

o_O Doesn't drowning involve death? He's still alive (unfortunatly XDD), so I don't think he's ever really drowned before...

Ash fan girl! Cute!
Ash is a good swimmer, every one is a good swimmer, suddenly people who can swim have God like powers? WTF? I can swim, does that mean I have powers? LOL. May hasn't drowned either, does that make her a W.I.T.C.H some how? LOL You people and your theories.

Actually, Kasumi has had a few near-drowning experiences before - just watch her first Hoso special. It's more rare with her, I suppose, since she's a Water Pokémon trainer and probably spends more time underwater; thus, she has a better lung capacity than Satoshi. Heck, she was at the bottom of a lake collecting salveo weeds with Nyoromo and displayed no breath-holding discomfort whatsoever.

But then again, it's just a show, I should really just relax...

Isn't Kasumi; Misty? I was talking about May hehe. And yah its just a show, its not like facts are always going to be straight, but even if Ash never drowned that just means he's a good swimmer, his father for all we know could have tought him how to swim before he left. Who knows.

Oops, my bad. I read your post too fast; for some reason, I read "Misty" instead of "May".

But for that matter, Haruka hasn't even been underwater very much. When the fourth AG movie rolls around, though, we'll see what happens.
 
When you drown you die. None of the characters have actually drowned before. Soem have gotten close, but none have actually drowned, or we wouldn't see them anympre.
