How about beaches, like the gulf coast of FL or Atlantic or Pacific?
I grew up swimming, mostly in salt water, mostly in the Gulf of Mexico. I've done very little lake swimming. The deep mat of vegetation on the bottom of a lake bugs me. I don't like to stand in that stuff. But it's not a fear/phobia.

Are you kidding me? There’s all kinds of icky horribles in there. Especially Lake Michigan. Not to PARF it up but the government knows there’s sharks in there. Tsunamis are nothing to laugh at either and what about Oprah! She lives in Chicago, sometimes. Same water, you know.
Not worth the risk, IMO.
