Brian, who has autism, used to love swimming with his family all summer long. In an unfortunate event, Brian sustained a seizure while in the water. Luckily, he was okay but was traumatized from the incident and has not wanted to return to the water since. Watch to see how the Swim Whisperer methodology can help swimmers overcome trauma and return to their happy place, the water!
Our parents come to us having experienced lessons at aquatic centers that have good instructors. They sometimes spend a lot of money on private lessons and when they experience a Swim Whisperers swim lesson they are so happy and relieved. Sometimes this can also be frustrating because it shows a lack of educated swim instructors at traditional swim schools. Help us to spread these tips globally to ALL aquatic professionals by liking, subscribing and sharing our educational videos.
