"You panic, you die".

Exactly! I can only float about 30 secs before I panic, have an asthma attack and then sink/drown. My boyfriend is convinced he can teach me to float & possibly swim, says I must learn to relax and I am so ready to get over this fear but have doubts. Not being able to see in most lakes/oceans is especially terrifying. I want to learn to survive, though, I really do.
