To be a Miracle Swimming Instructor, a teacher must be not only experienced, gentle and kind; she or he must also recognize or be willing to learn that confidence must be developed before skills.
A student must be comfortable to learn to swim.
Comfort is the goal of every single moment of our 5 core courses; the goal is never a physical skill.
Learning to swim is becoming comfortable in water over one’s head.
A licensed Miracle Swimming Instructor can solve virtually any learning problem of an afraid student. Fear is the #1 obstacle to learning to swim (once someone has access to the pool).
It’s a refreshing, empowering and healing correction of the information taught in traditional lessons to afraid adults. It’s a positive, completely new system of teaching that cannot fail.
For over one hundred years, swimming lessons in the U.S. have been about learning strokes. Since the late 1980s, they have emphasized strokes almost to the exclusion of safety.
The secret to successful swimming lessons for adults who are afraid—half of adults— is not tips on swimming technique or mechanics. It’s presence of mind.
When you understand the system of The 5 Circles, you will supercharge your power as a teacher. It has never failed.
“It cannot and does not fail.”
