Tal is terrified of deep water. He can bathe, shower, or sit in shallows no problem.. but the moment he can't feel the bottom he gets scared. He is okay with pools but not deep rivers, lakes or the ocean. He won't deny his family a swim just because he can't, though; he actually has a pool and a hot tub he dug out/installed himself, at their house. He likes to soak while the kids play.
