Is it normal that i hate swimming in deep water

The thing is when I'm in the deep side of a pool or ocean and I look at the emptiness under my feet (i can swim just fine) I feel like there could be something there to get me even though I know there's nothing their. And for some reason it happens in video games like in gta5 when I'm in the sub collecting trash and its dark, can bearly see whats in front of me, I just feel my heart pounding and I have to take a few seconds just to remind myself it's just a game

    Just imagine what could lurk below you if you were swimming in water 5 miles deep, half way between Calilfornia and Hawaii.

      Is that really a thing? I thought that was a joke? Do people really believe in the Toilet monster?

        Did you ever not flush because you were afraid the toilet monster might wake up or flush and then run out of the bathroom and just leave the light on cause you were afraid he'd pop out and get you?

        • I have often feared some sort of snake like creature would go up my butt hole while I would be taking a shiest.

    I hate water deeper than 6 feet, and yet, I was in the navy for a year.

    It is normal....I don't like to swim at all. I can't swim at all and whenever I am around the water I wear a lifejacket

    Worst thing I've come across while swimming was a fish, it was scary, not even kidding, it's just so frightening to be right next to another species in IT'S territory!

    For some reason when I was little and I played Need For Speed and I drove through a dark tunnel I always felt like a bunch of demon skeletons would start chasing me. It was weird. But yeah, I feel you on this one /:
