Injuries to the head, hands, wrists and arms...Sometimes legs if attempting a backstroke tumble-turn or even a backstroke to breastroke turn. It was only today i injured my finger doing one of these turns; but these are the main fears of swimming backstroke in a swimming pool...
I have read that Audrey had a fear of drowning and therefore she didnt like to go swimming, but I dont know of any phobias
Some childhood experiences of Michael Phelps include his initial fear of water and learning swimming when he was merely 7 years old. He was diagnosed with ADHD just as he was beginning to master swimming. Encouraged by his sisters, he learnt to swim. Swimming was also an outlet for his abundant energy.
Learn where sharks, piranas, and octopuses live and what they eat. Then check statistics on the rate that they kill or eat swimmers.
You can conquer a phobia or a fear by facing it head-on. For instance, if you have a phobia of sharks, find a reliable place that will let you go swimming with sharks.
Direct discussion (psychotherapy) can be very effective in reconditionaing a persons mind. Environmental factors can also play a part in therapy. Event therapy has its proponents, like throwing a child with a fear of water into a swimming pool. At the end of the day, they are usually swimming without fear. But psychosis (a closed mind) is not a simply defined condition.
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.
