Aquafobia! this is fear of deep water!Do you ll scare of water?
Are many peoples who really are scared when see water, and they must to enter in a pool or in the sea.
I want to say, that swimming is the best sport, and is good for body, soul and mind, in same time.
I adore water, really, and i know how to swimm even i was little girl.i am like fish in water.
How much do you like to go and swimm? you know how to swimm?

This can be embarrassing, Icesmile. I love to swim, but I'm ashamed about the way I look in a swimsuit. For that reason, I almost never swim, since the pool where I live is for the whole neighborhood, and Miami Beach is for the whole world! My previous house had a private pool, and I think the next one will probably have one, too.

Hello There
I love and adore the water ! It is like my little oasis of peace , and I feel so free and happy ! I always joke and say I must of been a fish in another life , or a mermaid . Just like you I swam when I was a little girl , and we had a small 3 ft pool . I remember when we were on vacation I jumped in the deep end at the hotel pool and scared my family , but I knew what to do , and I was sick of Laura wait , wait , and wait . I think I was about 7 at the time .
In the water I suppose is when I am most fearless . My fiance gets scraed beacause I go so far out sometimes at the lake . It just goes on forever which I love .
Have a good weekend !

I was always really scared of water, as when I was learning to swim at school, a boy held me under the water until I was unconscious. I only learned to swim at the age of 38, 18 years ago. My husband said, if you're so scared of water, you should learn to swim so that you could save yourself if you had to. That seemed quite logical, so I enrolled in adult's swimming classes. Within 3 weeks, I got a certificate for swimming 25 metres!
I love swimming now, and I wish I hadn't wasted all those years. I'll probably always be scared of water, but that means I have a healthy respect for it, so that's no bad thing. One thing I still can't do is jump in, because I hate it when my head goes under water.

well, i'm one of those who grew up with salts in their knees...hehehe...i mean, i grew up in the beach...and if it isn't for one accident, i could've been one of the greatest swimmers the world will ever see...hahahaha...kidding...but see, i could have been a better swimmer...i really loved to swim, even i deep waters...until one day, in a family reunion, our boat tumbled in the waters...like we're trapped under it...i wasn't able to breathe for a a couple of minutes, and i was totally struck by the incident...it was a shock...of course i know how to swim then, but see, what can shock do?it really came to my nerves that i never enjoyed swimming again, the way i savoured it before....:(

I love swimming. i feel so good, like a fish in a water! But sometimes i really scare.. not for myself but for others, my lovest people. I am talking not about a pool, but the lakes, seas or oceans where i do not know a place and a water is not clear.. i scare when my lovest people diveing, because i know if they need help i can do not find they..
