Miracle Swimming Institute will host a conference for all swimming instructors worldwide October 7-9, 2009 "on the beach" in Sarasota, Florida to help instructors bring its 21st-Century swim teaching technology to swimming lessons. The meeting will be held at the Helmsley Sandcastle Hotel on Lido Beach. Instructors will explore the main differences between afraid and non-afraid students and their needs, observe and participate in our introductory class for adults afraid in water with afraid adult students and learn the basics of Miracle Swimming principles. We will open a dialog to discuss the implications and expanded applications of the 5 Circles Teaching Method in teaching and learning anything. Instructors are encouraged to bring their most challenging adult students to participate in the Thursday main session.
