Default Swimming

I'm currently in the process of trying to lose weight and get in shape. And to be honest, it's working.

But my personal trainer (I only have one of these so that I don't have to go to a public gym and use public changing rooms) says that I should try going swimming.

Now, I have a real problem with the way I view my body, and the thought of being almost naked in front of that many people at the swimming pool is terrifying. Not to mention the changing rooms.

My trainer suggested that if I wanted to get over a fear of being naked (or nearly) I should find a friend to whom I can explain the problem and who'll go swimming with me, but also who's willing to be seen naked by me first so that the barrier is broken before we get to the swimming baths.

Does this sound sensible? Any thoughts?
