That's what I used to fear.  Jumping from the diving board at the YMCA - plunging into the deep end.  I had horrible visions of these underwater cages opening up and sharks being released.  Or alligators.  Either way, terrifying.  Yeah....so I wasn't keen on swimming in the deep end.  Our imaginations can run so wild!  Even now, as a somewhat grown-up woman, I hate it when I'm swimming in the lake at our cottage and someone starts doing the Jaws theme.  Makes me shiver - and swim back to shore mighty fast!

The irrational fears aren't keeping me out of the pool now though - with the heatwave weather we're having - I'll take my chances in the pool.
