To be a Miracle Swimming Instructor, a teacher must be not only knowledgeable, gentle and kind; she or he must recognize that a person cannot become safe until she is comfortable in deep water.
If someone can do freestyle but cannot stop and rest peacefully in deep water, he is not safe. He can swim strokes but he cannot “swim.”
For the purposes of world water safety, a person is finished with lessons when he is peaceful going nowhere in deep water for at least 10 minutes. Strokes are for efficiency after one is safe.
Comfort is the goal of every single moment of our courses—not physical skills. Survival skills come organically from being comfortable.
A licensed Miracle Swimming Instructor can bring virtually any afraid adult to comfort in deep water.
Remove the obstacles to learning to swim
Panic is likely the #1 cause of drowning for adults.
It’s a refreshing, powerful, and healing correction of the missing information and the misinformation (just the facts—no offense intended) found in most swimming lessons for adults. It’s a positive, completely new system of teaching that cannot fail. It’s just as reliable as gravity.
For over a hundred years, swimming lessons in the U.S. have focused on teaching strokes to children. Since the 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 in the U.S.— is not tips on swimming technique or mechanics. It’s presence of mind. Learning to be safe and to swim are about being, not doing. This is so invisible that instructors and their training agencies haven’t noticed. But the students know.
When you understand the system of The 5 Circles, you will supercharge your power as a teacher. It has never failed.
