Next Step Class
The Next Step Class is comprised of 8 classes of 3 hours each, one hour on land followed by 2 hours in a warm pool, like the Beginning class.
Continue from where you left off in your Beginning Class to full freedom in the shallow and deep, going at your own pace as always at MSI.
Learn complete confidence and control so you can stay in the deep as long as you wish; you know you're safe, and it's fun. Learn to jump in, dive in, fall in on purpose, get things off the bottom in the deep, breathe at will and become certain of your safety. Finish the Learn to Swim process so that now you're ready to learn strokes!

"Do it-- take the class. If you are hesitant because of the cost, see it as an investment in yourself...and you're worth every cent. Though the class only lasted 8 days, it felt like a lifetime because mentally I had changed so much between day 1 and day 8." Angie Wong
"10 out of a possible 10." Jude Sharp
"Excellent. It's a different approach which is actually quite logical and effective. It works." Rupert Dusauzay, Jr.
"Book $22

Freedom from fear of water: Priceless." —Danette Ruggiero, San Diego
Read our book before class begins. The $22 solution of reading the book before taking the Next Step class makes most sense. Once you know the Miracle Swimming lessons fully, which the book helps you learn, you’re home free. Reading the book especially after the Beginning class helps the teaching hit home and accelerates your Next Step class triumphs.
When you're completely comfortable in the deep end, you'll be able to "hang out" and rest for as long as you wish. In the Next Step class, master skills introduced in the Beginning swim class. There's no rush, and you can repeat the class. One practice session per week for 8 weeks is included in the local San Francisco Bay Area swim classes.
The purpose of the Beginning and Next Step swim classes together is to learn to swim according to our definition: to be at ease and comfortable in deep water for any length of time and able to go from here to there in the deep or shallow, confidently and safely. Once you can, you're ready to learn stroke technique. The crawl stroke (freestyle) is taught in our Freestyle class. If you're ready to begin learning freestyle at the end of the Next Step class, we'll begin to teach you. You may repeat the Next Step class (or any class).
