Become comfortable in deep water before learning strokes

Most adults have taken swimming lessons before.

If you haven’t learned, comfort was likely missing from your lessons.

Adults who are comfortable in deep water know something essential that afraid students don’t.  We identified it. Someday all swim schools will teach it.

 

No Shame for Being Afraid

There is no silly reason that someone is afraid in water. Something happened. It hurt. You’ve been managing fear ever since. Managing is unsatisfying. You want to heal it. At Miracle Swimming, you do. 

"I can swim across the pool, but I can't stop in the middle!"

That’s “swimming,” but it’s not “knowing how to swim”! If you knew how to swim, you’d stop and play whenever you wanted… a distinction never made in traditional lessons. 

 

Become Self-reliant and Comfortable in Water, First Shallow, then Deep

In less time than you could have imagined—two or three weeks  for most people, going at their own pace—you are able to comfortably and happily rest peacefully in deep water. That’s what knowing how to swim means: peace of mind and feeling safe in any part of the pool. Learn to apply it in open water, too. If you can rest in deep water, it’s inevitable that you will be able to move from here to there in deep water.

This is why we’ve been virtually 100% successful for 42 years. We don’t just teach you basic movements. We teach you every step of the universal learning process that your previous lessons missed. They lead to confidence in deep water.

Every Students’ Comments Here

How can you overcome fear without scaring yourself? With a system so soft, so sensible and so simple—though counter to what the world believes—that once you know it, you’ll wonder why it isn’t the way all swimming is taught. One day it will be.

About Our Founder, Melon Dash

Founder Melon Dash noticed as a graduate student that each semester, ten of twenty undergrads in her Beginning Swimming courses could not follow her instructions. They were afraid of sinking, panicking and drowning. Her American Red Cross training had not prepared her for this. She had to create something new. It turned out that her solution was the opposite of what she had been taught. But it worked every single time. She opened our swim school in 1983 against a backdrop of virtually zero adult swimming courses in the U.S. that worked to make most adults comfortable in deep water. The situation has not changed in 42 years despite her efforts.  She leads adult-learn-to-swim with her revolutionary teaching system and unparalleled success with adults.

Our System

There has to be a way to teach swimming that works for everyone: something so basic that it goes beyond background, personality, beliefs, or level of fear. The 5 Circles Teaching Method is the key to our success. It is an original, elegant system that for 42 years has worked for every single student and every single skill, message, and lesson we’ve taught for 6000 adults students. See for yourself.

Swimming for adults who learn to swim

Left: A doctor came for our Essentials 1 course. Then she enrolled her sister and next, their mother. After they graduated, they came together from three different states for their first-ever swim date. Miracles really do happen!
