My father was telling me how he learned to swim and who taught him. (He was old enough to actually remember his first swim lesson instructor.) How many of you overcame a fear of water or know someone that did in learning to swim?

I used to teach adult T.O.W. (terrified of water) classes. I'd say 90% of the people in those classes related a traumatic experience that created their fear, the remaining 10% usually said a parent was afraid of the water and passed that fear on to them.
It took weeks of desensitization training to get them moderately comfortable in the water. Very interesting classes.
