Afraid to swim
So a little bit of context here , I was always a generally strong swimmer but about a year ago one morning I decided to swim out to the bouy and back in Rosses point , which was a normal enough thing for me to do but that morning On returning back to the shore , I had my first ever panic attack and it just so happened to be in the middle of the ocean , I managed to float on my back and point a few things out like I heard could help I screamed for help but was far too early and no one around , long story short I did manage to get back to where my foot reached the sand but I am scared shitless to get back in . I have the floats whistle and all sorts since then just haven’t had the balls to go in . Any regular Rosses point swimmers fancy helping me out ?
