【解析】

【1】Sadly 考查副词。句意：不幸的是，我差点被淹死。这里副词作状语修饰整个句子，故用Sadly。

【2】Though / Although 考查连词。句意：尽管我被一位男士所救，但是我妈妈如此害怕，所以决定再也不让我接近游泳池了。根据句意可知这里应该用Though / Although。

【3】frightened 考查形容词。主语是妈妈，她感到害怕。frightened感到害怕的。

【4】However 考查副词。句意：但是我想的和她完全不一样。根据句意和上下文可知，这里用However。

【5】swimmer 考查名词。句意：我决定成为一名优秀的游泳者。这里用名词作宾语。

【6】agreed 考查动词。句意：在告诉妈妈我的想法后，她认为我是正确的，就同意了。这里根据语境和上下文可知，作者在叙述过去的事情，要用一般过去时，故agreed。
