Beginning Swimming Class
The Beginning Class is comprised of 8 classes of 3 hours each, one hour on land followed by 2 hours in a warm pool.
The Beginning Swimming Class is a prerequisite for all our more advanced swim classes.
If you wish to test our method first, take the Intro Half-day class first. Or, read our book.
The Beginning Course Description:
- How to remain in control, overcome fear, and be comfortable in water
- How to return to ease and calm in water anytime
- To put your face in water HAPPILY
- To float on front and back and to "unfloat" (stand up)
- To move from here to there in the water
- To turn over
- To jump in
- To let the deep water hold you up
- To get air
- To jump into the deep if you're ready
- To keep yourself safe
- Once you're comfortable in water, you begin to swim automatically, the same way a child learns to walk

The Beginning Class
While the above-mentioned skills are typically taught, some people learn less than this, and some people learn more. We teach you individually and as a group, so that you learn at your own pace. No one hurries you and no one holds you back. It's calm and it's all for fun. And safety.
