Learn to Swim in Sarasota. Come to Sarasota to learn how you can enjoy our beautiful beaches and pools. Wish you could frolic in the gulf? Enjoy your hotel pool? You can. Miracle Swimming: Learn to Swim, from Fear to Freedom. For adults. Learn to happily put your face in water, float on front and back, let the water do the work, stay in control, let go of the wall, move from here to there with confidence in shallow water and deep. Say goodbye to worry.
Pool and gulf classes, depending on the season. Learn in warm water. Fun ushers in comfort. Comfort and safety come first. Mechanics emerge spontaneously once you're comfortable.
Weekend classes, 5-day classes, and introductory half-day classes. Instructor trainings, too. Sarasota is our national headquarters for classes and instructor trainings.
We wrote the book, literally, on how to learn to swim as an adult. We produced a how-to video, too. And there's a free video on our website that not only introduces you to graduates speaking about our program, but also to our unique teaching and its power.
Change your vacations for the rest of your life by overcoming fear in water and learning to swim. Demystify the water with myth-busting games and discussions that turn on the light bulb. All classes are go-at-your-own-pace: you'll never be hurried or pushed. Strokes classes in the pool and classes in the gulf are also available as well as even Snorkeling and SCUBA, after you've mastered the basics (this will take more than one visit to Sarasota).
