Customized swimming lessons for adults
Using the principles of the TRUST (Teaching Real Understanding of the Swimming Truth) program, adult students learn to overcome their fear of swimming by understanding how the water works with their bodies. It is designed for students to learn to trust the water's ability to hold them up and understand how their movements affect the water's ability to support them.
With this approach, slowing down and backing up are emphasized so students can take the time to understand how their actions affect the water's ability to hold them up. The goal is not to to have students move through the water as fast as possible right away, rather, an understanding of buoyancy and getting oriented horizontally on top of the water is first established.
If you do not feel comfortable swimming in water where you cannot touch the bottom, the TRUST approach is for you.
After completing the TRUST program, the Water Safety Instruction (WSI) program is available for further training.
