Science of Water
We are curious beings so it’s easy for any age to grasp how their body works in water. This is how develop trust of the water that breaks the boundary of a pool and transfers into a lifetime of natural water awareness. Neuropathways develop that are applied to open water settings.
Swim Skills
It’s essential to learn the power we can wield in water and use those skills to navigate the science and unpredictability we know will exist. Confidence progresses in our program by applying these skills to all situations, not just getting from A to B.
Water is Unpredictable
74% of drownings over the age of 5 happen in open water. Respecting that water is not static like most swimming pools but moving. How can we expect application of swim skills taught in a predictable setting to unpredictable settings? We simulate rip tides, waves, rivers and use our imaginations to create reactions that bridge the gap from pool to open water.
Water Heals
We are made up of water, it covers 70% of our earth. Our bodies react to water in ways we cannot experience anywhere else. We emphasize how calming water can be and how we can use it to heal ourselves mentally, emotionally and physically.
