Answer 1

don't jump into deep water, try easing yourself in and maybe holding the edge until you feel comfortable enough to let yourself go. then as you do that you might feel better jumping in.

Answer 2

Answer 3

try slowly going from the shallow end step by step to the deeper water,,,,get the feel of it,,,,try puting your head under water and exhale out your nose,,the shallow end is the same under water as the deep end except for the pressure.to float----take a big breath and hold it --try to float----i cant float very well cause im skinny---but i scuba dive---and love the water,,,,,,once you get past a few thing you will love it too---good luck
