  • Actually(and I know I'm not the only one) I am absolutely terrified of pool lights and pool drains.

    I'm not sure why I'm afraid of pool lights. No, it's not because I'm afraid of getting electricuted(?). I guess it's the way it looks. They're just so... creepy. ;-;

    I'm afraid of pool drains. ANY pool drain. Small ones, and the really big ones with the grates. I remember when I first saw a drain that had a grate on it. I was only about 11 or 12 years old. I had never noticed one until I went to a pool I've never been to. As I swimming(I was in about the middle of the pool) I look over into the water. There it was. The drain. It was so huge, and dark. I immediately began to swim to part of the wall without a pool light. I had to catch my breath. I tried swimming to the other side without looking down. I even swam underneath the water with my eyes closed to go a little faster.

    I've also read on multiple pool drain accidents. That just increased fear. Thankfully, I am able to still swim in pools. The things is, if I get dangerously close to the pool lights, I panic and swim away as fast as possible. Same with the small drains. If I happen to be in a pool with a deep end, I can look down at the large drain and be fine. If I'm in a lap pool, the water makes it look like it's right there near me. So, of course I'll swim with all my might. o-o

    Another fear I have is of shower heads. I'm slowly getting over it. I don't trust the removable shower heads. I can take a shower with them connected to their rack, but if you take them off that's going to be a problem. The standard type of shower heads are okay. I really love the water, but with those mentioned fears it doesn't help me when I get near water(unless it's a lake or ocean).

    • So your fear is like water materials or tools?

      • Just pool lights, an pool drains, and especially the little pool cleaners that move automatically on their own.

        • Ugh! I hate those especially the vaccum ones. My uncle had one when I was 6. I was so freaked out when it chased me!! And I loved swimming at his house until he got that thing!
