Will You Enjoy Our Beginning Class?
Everyone does. We respect you for the efforts you've already put forth and the deep desire you have to learn. We honor your feelings and will never make you feel silly for being afraid: fear arrived in a legitimate way. We'll guide you in disarming it and replacing it with confidence. It's a gentle process.
You'll feel comfortable and safe all the time. We'll never ask you to do anything you don't want to do. How can you learn if you never push yourself to do anything you don't want to do? The answer is simple: the same way you learned to walk. You'll be met at your level and your questions will all be answered. There's no pressure and no hurry. You won't be told to relax! You can just be yourself. If you let yourself go at your own pace, you can't possibly fail. Have you ever heard of an adult swimming class with a money-back guarantee? We have one because we can.
One pool we use: a hotel in Orlando, FL
You'll learn how to be at ease in water and play; how to let the water do all the work; how to be yourself in it in the shallow and deep; how to move with ease and grace without effort; how to keep water out of your nose; put your face in HAPPILY; feel the water holding you up. You'll learn to float and stand up; how to move from here to there; how to remain in control; the nuts and bolts of preventing panic; how the water works; how to maneuver at will in the water from back to front and change directions; that deep water holds you up; to replace your unwanted beliefs about water with beliefs you want; to begin to be the swimmer you're born to be. There's so much material in the Beginning class that it takes 24 hours! It's 8 three-hour sessions, one hour on land and 2 hours in a warm pool. In the Next Step class you continue to learn, and you finish when you know how to stay afloat calmly in deep water as long as you wish. You'll be free in the deep. All learning is at your own pace. There's no Beginning class like this anywhere.
Miracle Swimming has flourished for 27 years because we remove all causes for worry, provide warm temperatures, start at the beginning and skip no steps....and because it works. It's built solely on having fun: your kind of fun. Countless references available, or see our Student Comments page. You were hoping this existed? You've found it.

What is swimming?
Yes, it's strokes, but that's not all. It's also comfort in water, confidence, and being in control: the ability to rely on yourself for your safety in water, not on the bottom or the side, whether it's shallow or deep, pool, lake, or ocean. You need to know how your body and the water work together, and how to remain in control. Neither is taught in traditional swimming lessons. Neither is related to arms and legs.
What's the answer?
Twenty-seven years ago, as a traditionally trained swim instructor teaching a college beginning swimming class, M. Ellen Dash asked why the system was not working for 10 of her 20 students. The answer was simple: With their attention on survival, they could not focus on swimming skills. A new system was born.
We hope you'll join us and find out what's possible in the world of swimming and adult Beginning swim lessons.
Classes and Accommodations:
- We stay at hotels that have a warm pool associated with them (exceptions: In Honolulu, Baltimore, Boston, and Sarasota, we use a warm pool, and lodging is at a nearby recommended hotel. Locations are chosen for their warm pools. Florida is chosen for its warm temperatures.
- Several times each year, the Beginning and Next Step classes are held back to back for people traveling, to get the most from one trip. (Sarasota, FL and Palm Springs, CA)
- We can recommend Silvestri Travel in Sarasota, FL to save you time and money on travel arrangements.
