You need to understa: You need to understand the "why, " behind the fear. I would talk to a psychologist or licensed therapist. Ssris may help.

No quick fix.: I'd suggest starting with a therapist. You'll want someone who is comfortable with cognitive behavioral therapy and "exposure therapy". There's not going to be a pill to cure this right away. It's really about talking through your fear of going into water and coming up with a plan to treat it. Good luck! [regarding the picture - thought i'd spare you a picture of water].
