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.
I have never bought a swim suit because of my fear for water.
I'm not a very good swimmer, and every time I'm in the water, I'm constantly reminded of that because I feel like I'm going to drown!
Swimming is a confusing sport, because sometimes you do it for fun, and other times you do it to not die. And when I'm swimming, sometimes I'm not sure which one it is.
You see a lot of us lingering around. We'll just stand there on the edge of the pool and kinda psych ourselves up into getting in.
I don't like the ocean. I'm not a natural swimmer, even though I come from Australia. That' a terrible thing to say.
I am not a swimmer so a bit of phobia is always there with water stunts.
I grew up being scared of the water, which is embarrassing to say as an Australian, but it's true.
Open-water swimming scares the hell out of me.
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.
