Same here but I am in Oasis Springs. One sim acts like they have it even with wants and fears turned off.
@bc0414scI'm also in Oasis Springs. I actually had the fear of the dark bug with a few of my sims, but while they would act scared of the dark, they didn't have the trait. So I manually fixed it by giving them the trait with the cheat and having them face their fear by being confident outside. But when I put a pool on a lot, one of my sims started acting scared of the pool and like you, I had turned fears off at that point lol. So I was perplexed on why he had the fear, and the fear didn't show up in his traits. I'm thinking that you'll also need to apply the fear with a cheat and have them swim in the pool while confident, but I'm not sure what the code is for fear of swimming. Made a few guesses that didn't work.
Update: I turned on wants and fears again to see what would happen. The sim is no longer scared of swimming.
