Since I was a little kid, I did not like going swimming to lakes, rivers etc etc. Even though I am a 20 year old guy, I still don't like it. I am not afraid of water, when I get in, I usually tend to be in the water for 30 minutes or longer. Still, if anyone would ask me if I would like to go swimming, I would rather say no.

I would greatly appreciate your tips, comments on what to do in this situation, e.g. maybe take photos or do other stuff.

    I was going to ask are you somehow afraid because of negative past experiences but nevermind! Many people I know will not go swimming because they see it as a waste of time, however there are a lot of physical and mental benefits of swimming :) you could look them up if you want :) for example it increase joint movement and relaxes them as when you swim there is less pressure on your joints than say doing weights!:) hopefully you can learn to appreciate a good swim in time and if your mind is still telling you that swimming is a thing not to do then that's not a problem, can you swim? If not I'd advise you to learn also, I self taught myself to swim, well tread water and swim further, but I know that at least I'm safe if I fall into a river or lake etc or at least safer :) good luck :)

    Are you overweight or have scars?
    Are you just generally shy? You haven't given us much to work with here.
    Confusing though, you like it once you're in but don't want to go? Are you just lazy?

    As oppose to pools? If so, I'm the opposite. I'd rather swim with alligators and sharks than with a bunch of dirty people and kids who pee and poop in a chloride toilet, even though I have a fear of drowning.

    Are you nervous about what's in the lake/river or just deep water in general?

      Well, after some time of thinking, I thought maybe I didn't like it because of the fear of drowning, but I usually go to places where it is not too deep. But no, I am not nervous about what is in water.
