Lawrence hc that he accidentally swallowed an unexpectedly tropical "ooh, aah!" pretty looking fish. Straight up open mouth inhaled underwater while marveling at it and then had an entire freakout, choked the water, swallowed the fish. Comically traumatic, unfortunately nobody believes it happened.
it becomes a running gag for those who know him to answer an implausible statement with "I once swallowed an exotic fish.", or variations of it.
That'd certainly explain why he doesn't go to the beach anymore.
