You can overcome your fear in water without being scared.
A swimmer needs to know more than how to go from here to there. The ability to rest in deep water saves lives. It does not result from learning strokes.
Become peaceful in shallow and deep water by understanding how water works with your body. Take it slowly.
Fear is healed by feeling safe, taking small comfortable steps, and being in control all the time.
The following teachings in the book make every last person successful:
· Overcome fear without risking your safety, control, or dignity.
· Comfort comes first. If you're comfortable, everything else in aquatics is possible. You cannot force yourself to relax. But you can allow
yourself to be where you are. There's never a need to push yourself.
· Learn how to get your safety from yourself, not the bottom or the side. Feel the incredibly simple steps of staying in control.
· It's okay if your feet touch the bottom when you float in shallow water.
· Learn to be comfortable being still in deep water.
· Say goodbye to shame.
Every single point and conversation, exercise and lesson you need which have been taught in Dash's Miracle Swimming courses since 1983 is explained and taught. Strokes are irrelevant to overcoming fear. They are omitted. Overcoming fear begins on land before "swimming lessons."
"The book is amazing. I am so grateful I found it because it speaks to the heart of me. I am taking swim lessons at the local rec center and while they are terrific for what they are, they are exactly as you describe. Without your book and video, I would not have the courage and confidence to speak up and tell the instructors what I need. To their credit, they listen! They help me and I think I am helping them by being the student I've become thanks to your enlightening me."--Gratefully, PW
