she likes the pool, doesnt seem to have issues with small spaces.

you may have to start with like her bathing suit on and make it a fun time and slowly coach her in to having her legs soaped with her swim suit on then do that for a couple of days then move in to her arm then have a bubble bath make it fun then she will slowly get use to the tub

Crayola makes lots of fun stuff for the tub. They have tablets that change the water colors, paints, crayons. If she is into these kinds of things, get her a few and show her how they work but that they can only be used in the bath tub.
My daughters biggest fear was getting her hair washed and because of that, she didn't want to take a bath. We got her a "special" wash cloth to cover her eyes with. Worked wonders!
Good luck!

you might have already tried this...but maybe tub toys like that she would play with in the pool??
my daughter had the same issue, i tried everything from ice cubes to soap "crayons" but what worked best was the toys and sometimes she would want me to sit on the edge of the tub and stick my feet in with her
its weird how kids seems to go through stages where they dont like a certain thing then all of a sudden they are over it.
maybe its the time of day she gets a bath? my daughter did better if i gave her a bath before bedtime, she would fuss terribly with morning "bubbles"

Put some bubble bath in her bath water, or some floating toys, maybe that will ease her fear of the tub! Good luck!

HI...I have to agree with Willow, tub toys and let her choose them, maybe even take her out to the store and let her pick one for the bath. Maybe even color the water for her but do sit on the edge of the bath with your feet dangling in the water. Maybe you could get in the bath with her the first couple of times or let her sit between your legs while you sit on the edge of the bathtub.
Good Luck

Lots of toys and bubbles, also they make crayons for coloring in the tub that wash off. Make it fun for her, let her pick out the bath toys at the store maybe?

Throw her into the OCEAN...It will freak her out so bad that the tub will seem like nothing!....Just kidding , kids are funny make it like a game time, maybe let her use the shower, tell her when she is under the water she is invisable...make up creative stories, let her use toys..if you do the invisable thing then when she is under the shower you pretend like you cant see her. So, that is my response

If she is small enough, use the sink. Seeing the water drain down the tub could be causing the fears.

If your tub is big enough you could climb in with her. If she sees that Mommy isn't afraid of the tub, then maybe it'll help her get over her fear.

My daughter was the same way. I let her shower with me a few times and now she loves to shower but a bath is like a treat.
