(Melon Dash, Author of, “Conquer Your Fear Of Water.”)
A Gallup survey, published two years ago, found that across the globe, half of adults are afraid in water over their heads, and that’s just in pools.
A third of American adults are afraid to even put their heads underwater and half are afraid of going into the deep end of the pool.
Many of them will have had some sort of swimming instruction over the course of their lives.
Yet, over a decades-long career teaching swimming, one thing has become abundantly clear to me: Learning swim strokes doesn’t make people safe in deep water.
If you’re an adult who doesn’t know how to swim, you may have asked yourself,
“Why haven’t I been able to learn over the years? Is it me?”
I’ve taught swimming to thousands like you who are afraid in the water, and I can assure you — it’s not you.
For most people who don’t succeed in learning to swim, it’s not for lack of trying.
If you are afraid in the water, there are classes available to help you.
