About Conquer Your Fear Of Water: An Innovative
Product Description Have you tried to learn to swim? Fear prevents it! For adults, overcoming fear is the key to learning to swim. You can overcome fear without doing frightening things. Learn how to rely on yourself for your safety rather than on the bottom or the side. That is the meaning of learning to swim. Perfect technique? That's for efficiency after you’ve learned to be at ease. First, master the nuts and bolts of being comfortable in water. Once you feel comfortable, you can learn basic skills like floating, getting up from a float and the numerous other skills taught with no stone left unturned. Learn all the essentials, proven over 37 years and unavailable elsewhere. Strokes are not relevant and are not taught. You’re in good company with the vast population of adults that has a fear of water over their heads--109 million adults in the U.S. All can learn to swim if they start at the beginning and skip no steps. The steps just may be something you never considered! Review "Dash's work is a revelation, written with profound empathy for emerging swimmers. The depth of her awareness is awe inspiring." -- Susan Anderson, Author of The Journey from Heartbreak to Healing, The Black Swan, and Journey from Abandonment to Healing From the Author After many years of teaching adults to overcome their fear of water, this message had to reach more people than I could teach in person. In our classes, you get the support and understanding of a small group of students and instructors who understand the simplest, most gentle yet efficient steps to overcome your fear of water. The book allows you to go at your own personal pace, consider the ideas, try them on, and put them into practice on your own if you like Do-It-Yourself. At our pool in Sarasota, Florida, you can do it yourself on your own or with others in two pools: a two-foot pool where you can learn to float by putting your hands on the bottom, and a regular pool, both kept warm. If you want more help, then sign up for a Miracle Swimming class or series nearest you. You will see everything fall into place. Promised! Swimming instructors want a book to use for their teaching. This book has helped instructors tremendously. From the Inside Flap Melon Dash grew up in upstate New York, but has always been a Californian at heart. She started swimming competitively when she was 7, started teaching swimming when she was 14, and has been doing both ever since. Her favorite toys are her Macintosh and her bike. She looks for a good pool to swim in, wherever she goes. From the Back Cover "This works!" - Fred McGriff, former Tampa Bay Devil Rays baseball All-American and Miracle Swimming graduate, and his wife About the Author As one publisher wrote, Melon (M. Ellen) Dash "owns the space" of teaching afraid-in-water adults to swim. At 23, she developed a new approach to teaching adults who are afraid in water. She opened her swim school in 1983 in Berkeley, California and produced an instructional video in 2000 ( The Miracle Swimmer Learn to Be in Control in Water, Shallow and Deep: Prevent Panic). Her work has been featured in the New York Times, USA Today, NPR, The Today Show, and in innumerable television, radio and newspaper appearances. Her radio show, The Learn to Swim Show, is available as a podcast at her website, miracleswimming.com. She speaks at World Aquatic Health Conferences, national swim coaches meetings, and received a grant from U.S. Masters Swimming to train instructors. She's brought a dozen ground-breaking ideas to the "Learn-to-Swim Universe." There are licensed Miracle Swimming instructors around the world. She holds a masters degree in exercise physiology/education from the University of Michigan. Over 5000 students have taken her classes since 1983. She has been a competitive swimmer since 1962 and is a world-ranked masters swimmer in 3 events.
