Our Essentials 1 SloMo Course is where 6 students learn beautifully and predictably even if they consider themselves to be very, very afraid.
The course is the same as Essentials 1 but we go more slowly.
We begin SloMo in standard-depth water, waist deep where you learn basics like how to put your face in water happily.
Perhaps you would feel safe learning to float if you were in 1 foot of water. There, you could leave your hands on the bottom and feel the water hold you up. Don’t let go of the bottom unless you feel the water doing all the work of supporting you. You cannot miss learning to float in SloMo.
Give yourself extra time to overcome fear in SloMo. We’ve never had an Essentials 1 SloMo student wish s/he had taken Essentials 1. But we have had several Essentials 1 students wish they had taken SloMo.
If SloMo is the right course for you and you take Essentials 1 instead—because the location or dates are more convenient—you will receive considerably less benefit than if you take SloMo. Take the right course: your progress and satisfaction depend on it.
It is common for graduates of Essentials 1 SloMo to become eligible for Essentials 2 by the end of SloMo.

SloMo refers to “slow motion.”
One SloMo student shared her decision-making process here.
◈ You know there must be a way to learn that’s not frightening.
◈ You want to be certain that this time you take lessons, you’ll succeed.
Where would you be calmest: learning to float holding onto the wall in 3-4 feet of water (you won’t drift away from the wall) or in 10-20 inches of water where you can put your hands on the bottom?
◈ You will learn in the free Online Intro Course which pool you’d be happiest in.
◈ Would you say, “You can’t go too slowly for me”?
◈ Would you rather wade in ankle or knee-deep water than chest-deep water?
◈ Could you panic easily in shallow water?
◈ Would you love to not deal with deep water in your next swimming course?
If the answer to these is yes, take Essentials 1 SloMo. Stepping forward to overcome fear is a courageous move. $1529 includes tether.

Course format: 8 three-hour class sessions of 1 hour on land followed by 2 hours in the pool. Standard-depth water is used for most of the course as you become ready. Learn to put your face in comfortably, float on front and back, “unfloat,” and move through the water.
◈ Feeling safe all the time
◈ Learning with others who feel as you do
◈ Having fun, no pressure, no competition, as in all our courses
◈ Learning without feeling fear.
