I know this is silly but sometimes when I'm swimming at night in a pool with just the underwater lights, I get a little freaked out...especially if the pool is uncrowded and quiet. I know that I've watched too many horror movies and read too many scary books, but does anyone else ever experience this feeling? I was just wondering if I'm alone in my paranoia or if there are others out there too.
...and by the way, yes, I do laugh at myself for this. :)

I did notice there's a certain feel or atmosphere to the pool in the evening, when there's noone around.
It doesn't freak me out though, I start thinking, skinnydipping.

There's a good aquatic love scene in Sex and Lucia, although that was in the ocean. Don't watch that one around kids or with your parents, though, nor if you're the least bit prudish. I think Cocoon had an interesting aquatic love scene also, although it was a little weird with the energy burst bouncing all around the place.
There's also one in the movie Swim Fan. Had to get that one just on the name alone. Howveer, the movie is pretty cheesy!
I went to Florida for vacation and the hotel pool was only empty enoigh to swim laps at night so i would go out ( yeah outside there was no indoor). and i would always imagine alligators.lol
I think Shaky's right and that I need to change my selection of movies. Although I do have passing thoughts of the killer waiting in the shadows I mostly think of...Jaws. Yeah, it's insane all right, not to mention impossible, but there it is.

Or, it might be that I'm strange... I don't think much about sharks even in the ocean.
Oh no swimming at night is the best! Especially, if its just you, and your significant other, and if the deck area around the pool is more like a pretty terrace with landscape lighting, very little direct lighting on the pool (except for the underwater lights that shimmer with the water movement) and a deep dark blue sky with stars winking back at you, because they know what you are up to. Even swimming in the surf at night is great! The only thing you can really see is the foam on the waves and the lights from the beach cottages. You have to swim completely by feel, by the push and tug of the waves.
This reminds me, I need to suggest that our local Y have a couple of "swim under the stars" night this summer.

When I was Younger ,I use to do almost all ocean swimming, and swim till it was real dark. But then I saw the picture Creature from the deep lagoon. Aftre seeing the picture, it did put some fear in me. As you know when you are kid 13- 14 , your immagintion can run away with you. But I must tell you I did contiune to swim at night. But kept close to shore. Always looking for that creature
It sounds as though Chris has been watching the wrong movies, and the other folks have been watching the right ones. Maybe you just need to have a weekend of watching movies with sex/love scenes in pools, while avoiding the ones where the killer is waiting for the half naked young woman to get out and reach for her towel.
