I had the 2 reasons you have mentioned to be afraid
I am phobic of any water we can swim at ( pools , or sea or lakes or or.....)
It really scares me I suddenly feel dizzy and once am in i loose control and scream as hell if for example at the pool i can't reach the edge
It happened to me when i was a kid i almost drawned, I jumped in the wrong spot i guess and I couldn't come up for a reason no idea what was it till now , I drank alot of water atbthat time , thanks god am alive and have no damage.
I came over being in a cruise or something and feel horrible as i used too.
But swimming iam still trying.
Nice post @looftee
Good to hear that, hope you get over it someday. Dubai has some really exotic beaches. You have to enjoy swimming there in order to enjoy life. Hold nothing back and enjoy my friend.
I hope so , yeah beautiful beaches in each city , and my kids too they learn from us.
Thanks for ur reply .
