I love to see people swimming but I can't learn it as I have a fear of water.When I was kid once I fell into a water tank but was saved by my mother.Since then I fear water but really love people swimming.Do U have any fear like this?

I understand your situation as i was in the same boat as you were a few years back. But somehow i took my guts together and went to learn swimming. initially it was very scary but as time passed i conquered this fear and now can swim like a fish. I suggest you just need to hold your guts together and try to overcome your fear and learn swimming.

Fear is just a state of mind. Find someone who will accompany you in swimming classes, you need to overcome this fear so that you can not just love people who swim but for you to love swimming as well. I used to teach kids who are very afraid of water, it's a tiresome task but it's all worth the pain when I see the kids happily swimming in the pool.

When I was 7 years old I fell into the lake while I was at camp. The camp lifeguard pulled me out and gave me CPR to revive me. I was terrified of swimming after that. When I got into highschool, I would watch my friends swimming and having fun and decided it was time that I learned to swim. I took some classes, which was hard because of my fear, but eventauly I was able to swim like a fish. The best way to overcome a fear is to conquer it.

Swimming is the natural tendency of human. If you place the newborn in a pool of water, it will swim naturally. Since you admire Swimmers, it wont be difficult for you to learn swimming. Better look out for a good coach to master this simple and thrilling art.
