I also was afraid of the water for quite a while after seeing Jaws. I have never been real comfortable in the ocean, and that movie only increased my apprehensions. I have a recollection of my fears extending to pools as well. Probably one of my more irrational fears. At least in theory a witch could have gotten in my house and under my bed. Not sure how a shark could get in a swimming pool, or how could I have missed it before jumping in.
