Silver,
I had a bit of a panic issue the first time I swam in my wetsuit. I kinda freked out actually. So I feel your pain. I do have some advice, but you may not like it.

I just forced myself to go back in, and then again, and then again. Mentally I just gutted it out, and talked myself through it.


Would it be possible for you to swim along shore so that you could stand up? I would try if I were you to get back in asap, even if Mr. Siver has to come stand along shore as your safety. That is what my DH did until I worked through it.

Hope that helps.

Ruth
