Help! Very embarrassing fear...?

So I'm a semi normal (lol!) 13 year old girl. But ever since I was little, I have had a huge fear...pool leaning machines. I kno they don't hurt you, but every thing about them terrifies me! It started when I was little, one just touched my foot and creeped me out! It's not just that I can be in a pool and swim away from them, if I see one I won't even go near the pool...does anyone have a way I can conquer this embarrassing fear? Thanks! And also tell me if u have any embarrassing fears.

Update:

They're just little machines that move around on the bottom of pools cleaning them

    Just to start off, i know you meant "cleaning" not leaning. It's okay, we all miss a letter sometimes. You can go to a pool store with a bunch of them on display. And ask the person there questions on how they work, and which is the best one and so on. If you know how they work, and touch them when it's not in the water, it can help with your fear of them.

    no idea what the hell you are on about.... never heard of pool leaning machines. what do pools need leaning machines for? why is a "fear" of them even a problem? I am middle aged and have NEVER encountered said machines. so just stay away from them .
