    What is it you don't like about swimming in lakes? That's my favourite kind of swimming

    I have been petrified of swimming in open water since witnessing a jellyfish incident as a small child. Lakes are particularly scary as I can't see what's underneath me.

    I'm petrified of swimming in the sea. I won't wade out any further than my knees. I also sleep with my feet inside the bed since watching Jaws as a child.

    I had my jellyfish incident in Scarborough. Isn't Jaws set somewhere near Bridlington?

    Well, later on this year we're going to Sewerby for a holiday. This is what I expect to see in Bridlington Bay! :D

    Cheers for that, never knew it had a term. Although most phobias do!

    If you don't reappear on the BBS after the summer holidays, we'll know what's happened to you!

    The real life Jaws incident happened at Hornsea in 1922. To this date the only fatality in British waters . Speculation is that it was a Great White.

    Inspiration for Jaws came from a huge shark caught off Long Island in the 60s.

    Never heard that. Some evil genius stuff going on right there. Apparently unofficial and there's no official term probably because the condition doesn't exist so doesn't have a chance to catch on.

    But on a similar theme: Sesquipedalophobia - the fear of long words.
