I had some bad experiences. When I was 3 or 4 I nearly drowned. I was passed out, my cousin saw me and saved me basically. I didn't go into a pool for about 7 years. Then I was at a pool party and decided what the hell. But then I broke my ribs in a freak accident in the pool.
I've always preferred the ocean to a pool but I would love to get in either and go swimming but I just can't bring myself to lift that second leg

I can understand your apprehension, but you really need to learn too...especially since you actually do enter a large body of water. Although, I would not recommend learning in the ocean.
