Best Answer

Most children who have a bad experience in a pool, even a small one, will demonstrate some apprehension toward "outside" water. Most have no such compunction about bath water that may be even deeper, because they feel safe there. Some may wade through a deep puddle yet be terrified by shallow water on a beach.

In other cases, children may fear even being splashed with water, and this is a phobia that may not have a definable cause.
