Still love swimming in the ocean despite having a couple pretty bad experiences with jellyfish though technically those experiences with the jellies were in the Chesapeake and Point Lookout (where the Potomac meets the Chesapeake).
I hated Skate rays off Galveston when I was living in Houston. Early morning I would always wear my shoes in the water after stepping on 2 (I learn slowly) one morning.
