I also had some bad experience in the waters when I was a child, but fortunately I don't really remember it. I won't say I am a good swimmer, but I enjoy it really much to jump into the ocean.

I wish you could overcome that fear of deeper water somehow. As you said, you need the right person on your side, or maybe not only one but a group of friends could be a good ideas too. Take little steps without putting yourself under too much pressure. Who knows, maybe eventually you will want to go in deeper by yourself!

Enjoy it! I have no doubt you will :)

Thank you very much. I already went there again :)
