If you let outside influence direct how you feel, you are not better than a robot... humans have choices... that is why we have dominion over the world that we live in... and are not simple robots being directed by outside influences...

hm... Shamou, perhaps you can get passionate about anything you want, but somehow your example is not very relevant.
I think in your example, it is more like a desperate swimmer, and I bet if he is able to reach the shore, this person will hate swimming to his gut, because it is associated with a very negative experience.
I agreed with ChaosKiwi, to get passionate about something, you need to find an aspect of it that excite you. That is what i am saying earlier, you have to find something that you are already passionate about in the first place.
Using your example, if the swimmer saw the colorful fishes and corals in the sea on his way back, and he get excited about them, he will become a passionate swimmer because he found something about swimming that excite him.
