I was recently at the town pool and we had to get out of the pool when we heard thunder. We had to stay for 30 mins, and then we were allowed back in as long as there was no more thunder heard. I'm wondering if this is just cautionary or if anyone here has actually heard of someone getting hurt by a thunderstorm in a pool? (Please no "i think this or that answers") Just looking for people you know of that you have heard of getting injured in such an accident.

While I've gotten past my fear of the water, I still don't have total trust that I can swim successfully without sinking. What can I do to conquer this fear of sinking? Are there any tricks or fool proof techniques to conquer my anxiety?

I was in the pool at my college today, and there was this guy in a pink speedo! He's pretty good looking and well-built, I must say (I'm a guy too), but ugh... speedo... and pink! On a guy, never!

Hello divers,
I did a standard 8-week course and got my open water cert back in college about 10 years ago. I have since logged several dives including wrecks, deep dives and night dives, and I'm working on 100 hours TBT. (Small beans to many of you I'm sure, but unfortunately I usually only get to dive while on vacation, and had a year or two with no dives, bummer.) My question is should I get my advanced cert?

I have been on dives (like an 80-foot wreck dive) where AOW was "required", but they asked to see my log book, checked the experience summary and said "no problem". So, given that, and for someone who mostly does tropical reef dives while on vacation maybe two weeks per year, is it worth the time/expense going for AOW? No desire/plans to go for instructor or divemaster, so would I be getting it just to say I have it? Thanks for your input.

I just started taking a swim class at the college and I burp all through class because I keep swallowing the pool water (not intentionally) it just happens while I take the breath. I'm not the best swimmer that is why I am taking the class.

I'm 28 and deathly afraid to be underwater or have water splashed in my face. I'd really like to learn to swim and overcome these fears. Any suggestions?

I am 22 years old and I dont know swimming at all. I have just started using a nearby pool for about a week. There is no one to teach me, but I asked a lifeguard to teach me on the first day and he told me to hold on to a flutter board and move my legs up and down without bending the knees. Now I can move through the water for a very short distance (3m) in this way, but after some point I just stop moving forward.

Somebody else suggested that I try doggy paddle. I started moving my limbs randomly without knowing what I was doing and simply ended up drinking lot of chlorinated water.

I regret not learning swimming earlier in life, though it was partially the fault of my parents and my school that they did not inculcate this necessary skill. I'd like to rectify this handicap and want to progress with my swimming. Please let me know what else I could try to get started with swimming. Thanks for yout time.
