I've had a water phobia my whole life...my autism is a factor in this as I have sensory issues with anything touching the upper part of my body and water in my face especially freaks me out.
When I was young, and my autism was more severe, I wondered into a pool without anyone watching me....I had armbands and a floating ring on so I was fine on a sensory level as my upper body got no where close to the water and thus I barely realised I was in the water, but I didn't fully appreciate that although I was safe I had no control over where I was going. I floated under a water slide and a fat girl landed on top of me, I was pushed under the water and unable to get up from under her, I had a severe meltdown and the next thing I remember was waking up with a lifeguard and the whole pool (excluding my mother who hadn't even noticed I was gone, but who later beat me for this incident) watching me. As you can imagine, this made my phobia far worse!
The phobia is gone, but obviously there's nothing I can do about the sensory issues so trying to focus on swimming with all that going on makes it tough, chances are it'll take longer for me to learn good form as a result, thus that effects my confidence. Swimming in a public pool is also going to add a new distraction - ie the worry about looking like an idiot - to learning to swim.
Basically, I'm posting wondering if anyone has any suggestions to help...
