    Default Diving deep into the ocean!


    Do you like swimming? What about in open waters? Beaches or pools?

    I love to swim but deep water freaks me out. More so when I can't see the bottom. If I have a life-jacket on though i'll float around endlessly until a shark eats me if I could.

    I'm kinda the opposite about deep water. I don't like to float around on the surface if the water is deep, since I can't see far down, but I'd absolutely love to go scuba diving or something. I'd probably be scared doing it, but I think I'd love it anyway.

    Pools are okay but I prefer swimming in lakes or the ocean. Feels fresher. I grew up swimming in the ocean every summer (rocky shores > sandy beaches!), so that's my favourite.

    You can come swimming back to my womb.

    I used to really like swimming, but I haven't been in a long time. With my hip issue, I'd probably seize up and drown now.

    I am at home in the water, any water, especially huge bodies of water!

    I greatly dislike swimming and water in general.

    If I can't see the bottom, I'm not getting in. As a grown woman of 25 years, if I am alone in an swimming pool, I will scare myself about sharks and water demons. Wakeboarding was the most terrifying thing ever to me to have to float in the water before the boat started to go because I started thinking about sturgeons and other nasty, horrible things that might be residing in Utah Lake and oh god it was the worst.

    I would love to go snorkeling around a reef one day but I'm terrified I will be crippled with fear

    I don't mind swimming. I'm not very good at it though, and I probably spend more time flailing around than actually doing any swimming. I probably wouldn't be looking to do any maritime activities until I am a stronger swimmer.

    I've never really been to any deep water that I can't see the bottom, but I imagine I wouldn't enjoy it too much.

    I like swimming in pools. It's a lot of fun to use the diving board, as well. I love jumping in. It's also pretty serene just to float around with your ears underwater. It's almost like sensory deprivation.

    I used to like swimming in lakes and rivers but for some reason as I got older I started to get paranoid about doing so. I'm honestly freaked out about accidentally kicking a fish or a dead body.

    I like swimming, that being said, I don't really go swim very often because I am too lazy to ride to closest lake and since I am from mid Europe, no sea for me except on holidays.

    Also, I am afraid of swimming over deep areas where I can't really see the bottom. Not sure why though, never had any traumatic event of this kind. I guess I just don't enjoy the feeling of not knowing what's beneath me.

    I didn't swim at all between the ages of 10 and 25! Never had the opportunity, truth be told. I like to float on my back. I never used to be able to do that as a kid and now I can and it's awesome.

    I never learned how to swim, so I have no idea if I would like it or not. Knowing how easy I am to scare, I'd probably shy away from anything I can't see the bottom of too. The ocean is scary as smurf.
