I was but a child when I got to see Jaws. Not only did the ocean freak me out but lakes, rivers, public swimming pools and even some above ground swimming pools in my friends back yards. Nightmares. I loved to swim too. I was a child though. I'm over that now. But I still don't care for lakes. Something about them freaks me out. I don't mind being in a boat on a lake but I do not want to swim in a lake. When I watch it now I laugh because it scared me so bad back then.
