What does "Out of depth" mean?
Now I'm trying to understand about
"OK. We’ll find out if you are swimming comfortably or completely out of your depth later."
especially, what does "completely out of your depth" mean?
Top answer
You are literally out of your depth in water if your feet can''t touch the bottom. You are figuratively out of your depth if you are in a situation that you do not have any understanding of at all. eg If a grade 10 student accidentally goes to a PhD seminar.
