Question

the water iis so dark and all i can think about is a fish , touching me, my husband and girls are going to so mad at me for not skiing , but i'm so freaked out about fish, when you fall and have to wait for the boat to come around to get you , what can i do not to be such a freak,i want to ski but , the fall and wait scares me

Answer 1

I used to swim in the lake (Erie) all the time when I was a kid and was a bit freaked out by the thought of fish touching me so any little thing that brushed up against me freaked me out....the only thing that kinda helped was first of all to realize taht these are not killer fish (for the most part) and if I was in the water I kinda would float on my back so that way my feet/legs were not dangling too much.  I did eventually get over it though.

Answer 2

If it bothers you that much, don't go in the water.

Wait till winter, and invite your family show-skiing.

Fish only come near you if they think you have food. Everything else intimidates them away, including your size. B.

Answer 3

f**t in the water......Sorry

Answer 4

Relax. The fish are more scared of you. If you fall in the water and make a splash, guaranteed every fish within a 50 yard radius will scram. Where are you water skiing?

Answer 5

The boat makes so much noise and so much waves that just alone freaks the fish out so they don't come near. Don't worry about fish touching you the likely ability of those fish touching you is slim to none.

Answer 6

The fish are going to be more affraid of you than you are of them.  If you so much as splash in the water, they'll take off.  Don't worry about it.

Not only that, if you're going skiing in a lake, there's nothing dangerous enough to do any harm to you.  The boat makes enough noise to keep fish away.  If one touches you, kick it, and that will be the last you've seen of that fish - trust me.

I used to be fearful as well, but fish scatter when people are around.  Don't worry about it!!
