I was so scared of the water when I was little. I used to grab onto Mum's hand to get out of the pool. I did not even want to shower.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have a fear of water, believe it or not. To put a wire 12 feet over a swimming pool frightens me. I don't like water.
I can't swim and I'm terrified of drowning, but I still love being by water - just not in it.
My mom put me and my sisters in the water to feel comfortable, to have water safety.
I came to water late. I learned to swim at the age of 20.
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've been in the shallow end of a pool, just kind of walking around, but this was my first time really swimming - and I was horrified! I actually lost it whenever I saw the edge of the pool. But I took baby steps and rewarded myself every step of the way.
I was terrified. My first week, walking around in a teeny bikini, I kept crossing my arms over my chest because I was afraid I was going to fall out of the top of the suit. And I didn't know anything about technique or lighting.
I knew how to swim by the time I turned 4.
I love and am terrified of the water, particularly the ocean.
I just always really wanted to swim. It was always a family thing: dad obviously swam, and my sister did, too. And mum used to come along to meets. They had to drag me out of the pool - so there was never any pressure on me to swim. It was just something I loved doing.
