"Why I Love Teaching Miracle Swimming" —Cori Myka, Owner, Orca Swim School, Seattle

ChickenFight
Cori, left. Melon, right. Students who never would have played like this before, underneath.

When I was teaching a private lesson to an afraid adult today I had remarkable new learning for myself as I watched the leaps in learning my student was having. I was thinking about how I have been teaching MSI for 4 years and am still learning and discovering. I have been a great teacher these 4 years, yet still I'm able to learn and discover with my students. The more I get present to the teaching, the more learning I gain. With other teacher trainings I have felt I needed to get the drills, games, and tricks and it will help my teaching and then that's the end. I am left with wondering if someone else has a better game or drill I should be learning. I feel stifled in that learning. With MSI I get to continually learn while practicing the method of teaching... or rather the method of learning. After 4 years I get it (again)!
Thanks, Melon

Cori (the first instructor trained and licensed in Miracle Swimming (2004), besides MSI graduates.)

"I am humbled and awed." —Nancy Haynsworth, American Red Cross Instructor Trainer, Fitness/Aquatics Coordinator
Air Force/Navy Joint Base Charleston Weapons Station, Charleston, SC


"I appreciate your intuitive and psychic approach and your grounded way of relaying this information so that it doesn't sound "woo-woo." I believe you're using a (r)evolutionary approach to teaching and to helping people overcome fear." —Nancy Ward, Total Immersion, New York


"I learned that fears are real and need to be acknowledged and accepted before being overcome. By coming to this training with my staff, I feel that we'll prevent future participants from becoming afraid adults by stopping fear while students are young. —Margee Charron, Bubbles to Butterfly Swim School, Connecticut
