Most often, if we speak or talk about what makes us to fear any stimulus helps us to overcome rather initiate us towards overcoming the irrational fear. Talk about it to your confidant, it relieves the tension associated with the irrational fear. There is another simple behaviou modification technique.
Systematic desensitization - first make a list of degrees of a particular situation that will induce fear of water, then slowly approach it. eg. thinking of water, looking at it, touching water, being in water, and likewise. If you are afraid of looking at water...try to develop the capacity to look at it. If touching water will increase the heartbeat and make you feel anxious, then dont do it in one go. Try to approach the water, Fear is supposed to be a learnt response and believe me, if we learn some behaviour we can unlearn too. Slowly and gradually.

Fear of water? I don't know about you but being thrown into the lake didn't help me at all...neither did scuba diving in the underground rivers in Cancun. I don't mind pools...actually it must just be the fish that I don't like...or the plants or muddy, mucky gunk floating around.
