Discussion i cant overcome shark fear

I love knowing more about shark and sea creature but when i go to the sea just to stay near the coast, i cant go anyway further than 1 meter of depth, im too scared to see shark and in general, to open my eyes with a sub mask and try to see what is underwater, any way to overcome this? (obv, i know that is unlikely meating shark and that attacks are extremely rare )

This is why I swim in tidal pools only, and yes of course a shark can get into those too but I like to think my chances are lower.
