In general I'm not a huge fan of swimming as an activity. I can swim just fine, but I don't find it to be fun. Scuba's good, though.
But no problem swimming in the ocean. Or in small ponds. Or leach filled laked. I'd rather swim in a lake filled with algae, frog eggs, and deer piss than sit in a hot tub with sloughing human skin.
No, people breathing near me isn't really a problem. Though if they're so close that I'm conscious of them breathing on me, they're already inside the acceptable radius. (And this is preferences, not phobia. I don't run screaming from crowded BART trains where crowd surfing is the only way in and I have been in hot tubs with people.)
Finally, there are many irrational spots in my psyche (preferring License to Drive over Adventures in Babysitting is, at core, an irrational process), I just try to be aware of them and not pass them off as objectively correct.
