Nollywood actor, Segun Arinze has revealed how he developed a phobia for swimming after he was almost drowned by someone when he was young.

The actor shared a video showing him swimming at the residence of billionaire Ned Nwoko who noted that it was time for him to overcome the phobia.

"When I was a young boy I tried to learn swimming in Asaba Delta State and one boy tried to drown me when we got into a fight at the river where we used to play. Ever since I had a terrible phobia for swimming and ran away from any pool. So you can imagine me trying the swimming ropes many years after when @princenednwoko insisted I overcome the phobia by being my instructor thank you Distinguished Sir. Omo no be small thing ooo. See fear!", begun Arinze shared.
