I've grown up by the beach all my life, and I almost get anxiety if I haven't been swimming for a couple weeks or a month. It kind of builds up, so I try and get out as much as possible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The only time I get afraid is when I am at the ocean. I get a little nervous when I'm in the water because I always feel like something is going to bite or snatch me.
I try to get to the beach every day. It brings sanity to my life. I'll just sit and read a book and enjoy the quiet.
I don't know any woman who doesn't have an anxiety attack about wearing a bathing suit.
I love going to the beach and swimming in the ocean. I think it's so relaxing. It's also a great form of active recovery. It's perfect for those rest days when you still want to move a little bit.
I grew up on the beach. It's just a way of life. You don't seek out that lifestyle; it's just day-to-day.
Swimming is normal for me. I'm relaxed. I'm comfortable, and I know my surroundings. It's my home.
I can't swim, and I actually hate sand.
I've always been kind of uncomfortable just on the beach in a swimsuit. I'm never my most confident in a bikini on the beach, especially when you know people are looking at you, and they expect one thing because of what they see in the magazines, and you might not look that way. It's always been a scary thing for me.
I love and am terrified of the water, particularly the ocean.
I can't swim and I'm terrified of drowning, but I still love being by water - just not in it.
