I would say yes. As soon as the wave stops being a wave in shallow water then becomes a crest; bending.

The speed of water is typically slower in shallow water compared to deep water because the friction between the water and the bottom of the shallow water body slows down the movement of the water. In deep water, there is less friction with the bottom, allowing the water to move more freely and at a faster speed.
Transverse waves move by vibrating particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This motion creates crests and troughs as the wave travels. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
bend towards the normal and slow down due to the increase in optical density.

Standing Waves
Refraction of waves at the shore causes wave crests to bend and align more parallel to the coastline. This happens because the part of the wave in shallower water slows down, while the deeper part continues at a faster speed, resulting in the wave crest bending toward the shallower area.
Water does move in streams; at bends, it moves faster on the outside and slower on the inside of the bend.
Water particles (molecules) move transversely to the direction of propagation of the wave. That means that as the wave moves out across the water, which is its direction of propagation, the water molecules move up and down (transversely) to create the crests and troughs of the wave.

... wave's speed of propagation.
The deeper you go, the more water there is, so it is pressing more on your legs, making it harder and harder to move.
You can get over your fear of water by beginning from your most comfort zone, say shallow end, as you move closer to the deeper end.
The particles of the medium move up and down as the wave passes. The crests and troughs of the waves move with the wave.
