Frequently Asked Questions

Who Should Take This Course?

This course will benefit both BEGINNER and ADVANCED adult (18+ years old) swimmers of every gender. You may/may not fall into one of the following categories:

PARENTS: You are afraid of deep water. You don’t want your kids to inherit this fear, but you also know that you don’t have the skills to intervene and save if your child gets into trouble in water.

VACATIONERS: You’re looking forward to that well-earned turquoise-blue vacation. You get to it but you can’t enter the water, you can’t snorkel, you’re stuck at the beach. Or you wear a life jacket and engage in the jet skiing and water boarding but you are afraid the entire time.

SWIMMERS: You can swim but you are anxious over deep water. You don’t know how to stop and rest in deep water. You hurry over the deep so that you can rest at the pool’s edge.

NON-SWIMMERS: You are afraid of deep water. You intentionally avoid water because you don’t think you can ever learn to be safe in it. You may or may not have taken swim classes before. If you took them, you left those classes unsatisfied and still afraid.

How can a swimming class be online?

Overcoming fear is training the brain. That training can happen in and out of the water. A lot of the tools you need do not require you to be in water. The skills part of the course will be in water and you can follow along at your local pool.
