I am not quit sure what the actual phobia is but I do know that it is all psychological, probably having something to do with your past, maybe including, molestation. The fear can come from being confined into a small area with another living thing attacking you and not having the strength to do controll the situation. Look into your past.

I know the fear of sharks in a swimming pool is called selachophobia that is how you spell it (said as selac-a-fobia) I know this because i have that fear it isn't something to be ashamed of i can swim in pools with a friend or a relative swimming next to me but otherwise i cry of fear.

If you have selachophobia then you will probably see shaded areas in the pool and will Dodge them you also see pictures of sharks in your head while swimming for me it started one day when my sister forced me to watch a programme about animals before my swimming lesson and the programme that i watched was on the great white shark the most deadly shark of them all and then I had my lesson and i was so scared i could hardly swim this happened about 4 or 5 years ago and I still can't swim without a friend swimming with me.

Its because when your in the water with somebody you feel if a shark comes to eat you it will go for your friend, but of course if a shark comes to eat you when your alone you feel it will eat you. But just remember your more likely to die because of a bee or a dog than a shark.

Phobia's are irrational fears. Its your swimming pool, you know there are no sharks in it yet you are afraid. Over active imagination.
