On swimming: I used to be afraid of the water too. My parents had me take two half-hour sessions back to back, with an instructor. He was in the water with me, and reassured me that he wouldn't let anything happen to me. I trusted him, and learned how to swim in that hour.
You might try something like that. It really saved my life!
I hear ya about the former BIL!
