What puts off so many of us from going swimming?

Whether it is a fear or phobia, a religious or cultural reason, a body image issue, a medical concern, or something else, it is easy to find a reason not to get into the water.

Make Your Move hosted a live Facebook Q&A with Rebecca Adlington, Mark Foster and Dr Victoria King to discuss anything and everything to do with getting started at the pool.

Make Your Move is a campaign, by the BBC Get Inspired team, which aims to show it doesn't take much to get moving.

This month the campaign has put swimming in the spotlight, but if you would like some inspiration on how to get a bit more active out of the pool, look at our ready-made challenges at bbc.co.uk/makeyourmove.

Whether you take on a challenge on your own or with friends, family or work-mates, we want you to show us your efforts.
