It’s okay to be afraid in water. You may be one of millions of people who wish they could swim.
Table of contents. |
Book: $22.00
E-book: $12
This book teaches you how to be confident and in control in water, shallow or deep. Once you're confident (imagine, you, confident!), you'll learn to move comfortably in water and breathe as you swim. Until then, learning to swim remains just a yearning. There is a way for you to learn. The foundation of swimming, as basic as it is, is not found in other swimming books or videos.
"You really can learn from reading this book. I had my doubts, but this is so complete. It's amazing: the information is so basic, but nobody ever said it this way."

"I didn't know fear was the barrier that kept me from learning to swim, but it was. Everyone should teach this way. " —Gerry Morisseau, Vancouver, B.C.
If you could read a book that contained exactly what you wanted to know about learning to overcome fear and swim, what would be in it?
You'll find that in this book.
How do we know?
1) Because people tell us. Some are quoted at the right.
2) Because we put every single thing in it (and more) that's been asked and answered in our classes in the 23 years leading up to the publishing of the book. We want you to have the material, the easiest, cheapest way possible. |
Learn all the steps of becoming
confident and beginning to swim with ease, written down for the first
time. The book is a new approach to learning to swim. It was designed
in 1983 and has been used exclusively for TSI's classes ever since. Now, instructors around the world are becoming trained in our method.
Students say, "This makes sense! Why doesn't
everyone teach this way?" |

Melon,
I have both the video and the book and I would like to tell you how amazing I have found them to be. I've been deathly afraid of water my entire life and now that I've turned 60, I've decided it's time to overcome that fear. As you have mentioned time and again, everyone wants to "teach you to swim" when you're still afraid.... Your methods are exciting to me and for the first time in my entire life, I have swum from one side (short side) of the pool to the other under water. Although I cannot say that I can "stay in my circle" all the time and the fear still creeps back in, I'm getting there and I cannot thank you enough for the encouraging book and video. Thank you so much for helping me to overcome my fear and letting me know that it's okay to be afraid at times. I cannot wait for the next time I'm in my pool in the back yard as I progress some every time I get in now. My wife thanks you too—she's so very impressed at how far I've come.
My Sincerest Thanks.

"Your book is indeed necessary. It's a very well written book by someone who’s clearly an expert on the subject not only of swimming but on the psychology of fear as well. I don’t think there is any other book out there that addresses the very real subject of fear of swimming. It has taught me to love water...."
—Vicenca R.
"The book understands me. The book and classes
have changed my life. Clear, concise, well written. Pictures help in understanding;
good illustration."
—Helen B., San Francisco
"Easy to understand.
Understands our fears."
—Madeleine C.
"It’s a new approach. Something I need. I
like the idea of making the reader go through the steps. ...I realize I must
go through the steps you have laid out in order to overcome my fear." —Chris
D.
"Its biggest strength is its incredible clarity, thoroughness and insight.
Important threads are repeated almost like a mantra throughout the book,
reinforcing, building. This is not a book just about swimming, but about living." —Theresa
C.
"It's a great book and I believe you have hit on something that is much needed.
I hope to see more swim schools here in Canada. This model of teaching
others how to release fear of swimming can could used on other
fears as well. You have a very soft approach and make it easy to relax and
let the process involve as it will. I have found new pleasure in the water
and look forward to my vacation class with you."
—Gina R.
"One strength of the book is that it takes things very slowly; there
is no 'just jump in and do it'! (I've taken swimming lessons at least four
times, was always told I'd be fine if I just jumped in. I can attest
to the fact that it doesn't work for everyone."
—Janice M.
"Its [teaching me] to stay in my body. I
can’t say enough
about this. I have studied a lot of meditation and books on staying in the "Now," but
nothing has struck me as powerfully as your little stick figures. ... you describe
it in such a simple way."
—Teri B., age 72
People like you really motivate me to keep
trying, knowing that there is someone out there that cares." —Jeanette
B.
"It breaks learning to swim down into the simplest of terms, truly addressing what is fear an identifying when it is beginning. I love that you addressed the behavioral sciences."
—Infant Swimming Resource, Tallahassee
"Reading the book is like attending the classes. "
—Marilyn L., TSI graduate
