100 things in 100 days - number 45

45. I can't swim. But I love the sound of the surf.

That's right, I never did learn to swim. In fact, I have an ingrained fear of the water. You'll not catch me in the deep end of a pool without a flotation device and even with that I'm nervous. I don't mind being in water, but I prefer my head above it and go out of my way to ensure it.

Now flip the coin - I love the sound of the surf. Or a flowing stream. Or a waterfall. So I have no problem with the sound of water, I just seem to have an issue with going under. I have no explanation for the fear, perhaps I drowned in a past life.........
