Go in above one's head
I think "to go in above one's head" is an expression meaning "to take too much one can handle". Is that correct?
I think one can use it when one is talking about going into water:
1-I went in the water above my head.
2-I went into the water above my head.
I think "1" is correct but I am not sure. I am not at all sure about "2".

Yes, or 'over one's head'. You can use it literally (#1 and #2) or figuratively (to attempt more than one can handle).
