Great video. I love the steady incremental approach. It goes against our instincts-which drive us to want a quick fix and instant results. But I can see that being patient and persistent will pay off. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Your videos don’t only teach me how to swim it also help me in my parenting forcing is not the solution wee have to encourage and convince the kids never force them
Great video, Jeff! I love that you're starting back at the very beginning for adults who are afraid of the water. Quick question: what microphone are you using in this video? I'm so excited you've found a microphone to use in the water!
I very much appreciate you noticing and for the comment! We are now using this mic: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDL4FK8X?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details it really helps as we have lost WAY TOO MANY in our attempt to find a solution! How long have you been working with adults?

I went for my first swimming lesson yesterday. I’m 60. I can sort of swim …. But we had two lengths showing how we swam. Then with arms up front with a flutter with kick board. Few more lengths and he’s got us faces in the water, no float. Trying to crawl. All in 30 minutes. Tbh I’m not sure I’ll go back next week but I will practice from my RUclips coaches and see what progress I can make. It looks like a terrible way to teach in comparison to you guys

Perfectly normal: Ask for “more help, a more basic instructor.” They have to at least try to find that. They are well-meaning. Try more in-person trainers until you get the good one. Same with finding a mental health therapist. Our stubbornness grows as we age and we look wise as we pursue what we want. .
