“Melon” (Mary Ellen) Dash developed a new paradigm of teaching and learning in 1983 to solve the problem of adults who were afraid in water who couldn’t learn to swim in traditional lessons. Fear was not being addressed. She has taught adults who are terrified in water to become confident and free in deep water for 39 years (1983). She is the author of Conquer Your Fear of Water: A Revolutionary Way to Learn to Swim Without Ever Feeling Afraid, and Conquer Your Fear of the Triathlon Swim. Her system is applicable to all fear.

Her work has been featured on CNN Headline News, TGI4, NBC’s Today Show, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, NPR, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Athletic Business, Aquatics International, and numerous others. 

We are accompanied for part of the course by a retired Delta pilot who answers airplane and flight questions.
