Course description
An introduction to water entry and basic movements in shallow water for those that are nervous and/or fearful. Overcoming anxiety and achieving comfort and confidence is the primary objective before moving forward into basic independent movement. We begin by establishing an understanding of safety and aqua basics in and around water, while gently developing confidence at a gradual pace.
