I very nearly drowned as a child, too... twice.

Yikes  :-[

I found out what a fear of heights is called: Acrophobia. I'm not sure what triggered it either. I rock climbed, abseiled and even bungee jumped once without much fear. I am not so much afraid of heights in general but rather high places where I can (or at least it looks like I can) actually fall.

A friend of mine cured my fear of heights in my teens. He got us a summer job replacing roof tiles.

You should try. It helps.

I nearly drowned as a child too... still don't know how to swim.
Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

I think I know how to swim, I just choose not to.
