I have taken the swim classes but have not found an instructor that understands that I have a fear of water. I beleive I can swim if for not of the fact that I think I am going to drown. Why do I think that? I have nearly drown twice. Or at least in my mind I beleived I was drowning. But now I have 2 daughters and I want to enjoy what I missed as a kid growing up living with this fear of water.
