Inhalt:

There is a profound misunderstanding by the public about how fear heals. It is not healed by practicing frightening things. To learn to swim you must become comfortable in water, shallow and deep first. Learn the universal steps--every single one--of becoming comfortable in water, shallow and deep, starting from where you are now. Confidence first, skills second. To be taught strokes when you're afraid you might not live is counterproductive. It's not your fault that you haven't learned to swim. When you can rest happily in deep water for as long as you wish, you have learned to swim. Then you will be ready to learn strokes if you wish. Strokes are not part of the book: they are unrelated to overcoming fear. The main swim instruction training agencies don't have this information. it. Therefore, most afraid adults don't learn to swim. If taught correctly, you can enjoy deep water. Every single step you need to be successful is uncommonly well-explained. Say goodbye to shame: there's no silly reason that someone is afraid in water. There's virtually no one who can't learn to swim peacefully and without fear by placing attention on the right thing: comfort. Take the softest, most effective route to healing fear and learning to swim. It's efficient, sensible, and respectful. "...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 Feel safe 100% of the time. The book teaches you how. Learn the true meaning of "I can swim." It's, "I'm comfortable and safe in deep water, not "I can move my arms and legs like this."
