The experience for both students and instructor trainees when they come to learn Miracle Swimming can be likened to one of being at the bus stop watching for the next bus to see if it’s theirs, and being surprised to find out that their bus is coming from the other direction. Our students and instructors have no idea that the solution is completely different from what they expected. They are gobsmacked.

The teaching technique can be boiled down to love and respect. The love and respect are so simple and clear that people feel differently than they do in any other swimming class. They are fully seen and heard. We meet them exactly where they are. Our system can handle this. In fact, our system is built on this very thing.

The teaching is intimate. When Melon gets going in class sometimes (teaching), there is absolute stillness in the room. You could hear an atom drop. It’s material people want to hear, are yearning to hear but never expected to hear in a swimming class, and are grateful to hear. They recognize it as truth. They engage with it. They have time and space to digest and absorb it. They are assisted in doing so. This is not found in traditional lessons.

Benefits
People are changed at a deep level. Often, they aren’t sure what happened. People say: “You’re sneaky!” It’s so soft, so organic, so sensible and so gradual, that energy-shifts within them take place that quickly show up in their approach to how they “are” in the pool and this shows up in how they do things in the pool which shows up in what they achieve in the pool.

The solution is the opposite of what the world has been teaching them. They knew that the world was not teaching the correct information but they had no idea what the correct information was. This is the one place they have been able to find it… for learning and for learning to swim.
