Produktbeschreibung
Do you wish you could feel "normal" at the pool and beach? Float happily in the middle of the ocean without a care in the world by comfortably overcoming your fear of deep water. Do you worry about sinking, panicking and drowning, getting water in your nose, eyes, mouth and ears? Stop worrying and learn how the water works with your body. Half of American adults feel the very same way. Everyone needs to be safe in deep water, yet learning strokes won't make you safe. If you've taken traditional lessons, you know. Be successful with lessons that aren't scary. You can become peaceful in deep water and be the swimmer you're born to be by making comfort your goal. Strokes are not part of comfort or safety and are not in the book. Strokes are for efficiency once you can swim. To be successful at last, try something different. With accurate information--time tested over forty years with 6000 afraid-in-water adults--healing fear is inevitable as you stay true to yourself. Learn from an industry disruptor. Author Dash has been leading the adult-learn-to-swim industry since 1983. Start where you are now. Hungry to be in 100% control in water? That is the revolutionary part of the book. Every single step and explanation, conversation and point that you need in order to befriend deep water is covered, starting in the shallow end. All the information missing from your past courses, reading, private lessons and videos is here. Waste no more time. You can be swimming comfortably in deep water in a few months if you get into the water with this teaching. BookLife Prize - 2022 by Publishers Weekly "Assessment: Plot: This book will help readers of all ages who want to learn to swim. The step-by-step approach is clear and easily accessible and can be practiced in just a few sessions as readers find themselves less fearful in deeper water. Melon breaks down the subject with multiple solutions, yet manages to not overwhelm the learner. Prose: In this well-executed text, with a step-by-step approach to not only overcoming a fear of water but also learning to swim in spite of it, Melon's perspective and real-life comparisons make it easy to understand her lessons. Originality: For anyone who thought it wasn't possible to learn to swim from a book, this book will prove that theory wrong. The advice given is relatable and will ring true with anyone who has ever doubted themselves in the water. Character/Execution: Melon's process is simple and nicely conveyed. She has patiently included and addressed any problem or excuse that might arise in such situations. Her methods are practical and logical, and go hand in hand with the games and practice methods that she recommends. Melon has eliminated confusion by breaking the process down into specific activities and solid advice."
