That's horrible. What a cruel man. My mother hates getting splashed. She's incapable of standing chest high in a pool and putting her face in the water. My dh says she's too old to learn now. I wish she hadn't missed out on the fun of swimming and she does too. I'll show her this and she can see it's never too late. oh my goodness Sugarlove no wonder he’s afraid! That’s horrible.

I took him for lessons to an instructor who thought dunking scared five year olds in the deep end on their first lesson would get them past the fear. I took him out the class immediately. He is an adult now and still afraid. I hope he learns someday and finds a similar class to Mr Lennon's. My son can’t swim.

Its basically water shiatsu. Its a relaxation technique involving acupressure in warm water. Anyway it definitely works for those with aquaphobia. My niece tried it in Auroville India and it worked.

Bungee jumping didnt help one bit. It's made me need therapy to just be able to go to my parent's place. They live in a penthouse. I dont know how that helps but if I was afraid of water I think I wouldnt be able to shake of the fear of drowning. I have a really bad thing for heights. Bungee jumping didnt help one bit.
