Honestly, I don't only fear the sea. I was in the same shoes while I was younger. during the long vacation. I traveled to visit my parents in another state at a village where they were doing their farm business. The only water they used that time was stream water not sea water. As a young boy, immediately I got there I mingled with other guys so I followed them to go swimming. On getting there, I couldn't enter the water and just remained standing watching them swimming. One day, flanked by water, one person pushed me unaware of the water and my friends came to rescue me. Later, I learned how to swim. Weldon job friend. You did a very good job.
