I don't swim. I used to swim, but after having an experiencing of drowning at a water park, I don't go into water anymore.

Friend of mine wasn't until he came within an inch of being offed by the 2004 tsunami. Literally. He was pinned inside his beachside villa, water level rose to the point where he and his (now) wife were floating about an inch or so from the ceiling before the waters receded, taking them both out of the villa and into the open sea.

Moving this back to Community as the OP is not OMNI-enabled yet.

I do have a fear of going in to the surf too far. I'm scared of getting dragged out. I've slowly worked on it and sometimes can throw myself into breaking waves.
It all started when I was on a rafting trip as a teenager. There was a spot where everyone would jump in and ride the current to shore. I couldn't keep my head up out of the water and drifted too far out. Nearly drowned they had to jump in and get me. Oceans are not as much of an issue as before but lakes and streams NO WAY!!!!!!!

That said, seeing as this is not a Community Buzz topic, I'll close this thread.
