I'm really really scared of deep water, and it's been so long since I've been swimming and I was so rubbish anyway that I think i've probably forgotten how to do it
I feel like I'm missing out on massive fun!

...
and my super cool pin-up bikini :P
just swim in the kiddies pool!
what could possibly go wrong?
Urine
and lots of it.
That's what's wrong with the kiddies pool
you might get raped by a paedophile?
i'm also scared of deep water
and subsequently swimming. also getting water in my eyes, nose and ears.
yay not just me
i doubt i even can anymore because i never got very good because i was scared of deep water and now i avoid it at all costs
same
they taught me to swim in year six but i was still shit and scared. my fear comes from falling in a canal when i was three years old, i think. why are you scared of deep water?
i was just an oversensitive kid
and found the noise, and artificial light and chlorine, and late nights and being freezing cold of swimming lessons really really really horrifically upsetting.
I think
running > swimming.
insane
^
running is shit.
and water is wet
wet is good
Running gives you
an endorphin high! I don't like forms of exercise that are too slow and sedate... yes I know swimming needn't be slow if you are actually good at it, but I'm rubbish.
Basically I get strangely high off running but not swimming, that just makes me a bit achey everywhere.
just take drugs
it requires no effort and you'll feel great.
nah
I don't enjoy the face munching aesthetic these days. About once a year is a good frquency for drug taking.
i was joking, damn you with your serious response.
i've cut down recently and now plan on very occasional dabbles only.
i love getting high off running
:D:D:D
Don't worry
Public swimming pools are ick.
There's no such thing as a fear of swimming.
Only a fear of drowing. But humans tend to float, so I reckon you'll be ok.
