Become the swimmer you always wished you could be.

If you’re a lifelong non-swimmer, or have never been comfortable in the water, we’ll have you relaxed and confident in a matter of hours and swimming with ease before you know it. For each level of instruction described, we include an estimate for how many classes it may take to master a particular set of skills. However we will teach according to your natural learning pace. Some may complete the skills in fewer than the estimated number of classes – in which case you can choose to move on to more advanced skills. Others may take longer. We recommend you schedule your classes once or twice a week. But we can easily accommodate more concentrated instruction for those who may have a greater distance to travel. These can include classes longer than 60-minutes, or a morning and afternoon class in a single day.

Adults who have had poor swimming experiences often feel they are simply not destined to master swimming. This is not so: Anyone can learn to swim. Once you learn to relax and be comfortable in the water and to make “aquatic breathing” as easy and routine as breathing on land, the “mechanics” of swimming will come easily. Thus our classes for adult non-swimmers focus on two skills:

Aquatic Breathing Made Easy – Breathing is the essential foundation of successful swimming and this specialized instruction is an invaluable aid for the hydrophobic or nervous beginner, and for those who can’t swim and breathe. We’ll help you overcome your nervousness about putting your face in water and teach essential skills of Aquatic Breath Control, using salad bowls filled with warm water in our “dry studio” then build on those skills in the Endless Pool, where you’ll extend your breathing skills and even become comfortable with brief immersion. We estimate one to two 60-minute classes.

Aquatic Ease and Freedom - Our program of "guided discovery" exercises will help you become more relaxed and confident in the water, turning your struggles into smooth and flowing movement. You’ll learn how the human body naturally behaves in water and how to be balanced and streamlined – the key to efficiency in the water. We estimate two to three 60-minute classes.

If you can already swim but not as well as you’d like to, TI can turn you into a smooth, efficient swimmer in any stroke better and faster than any other method.

Freestyle Made Easy (FME) – Learn the same skills taught at our world-renowned Weekend Workshops. Our uniquely effective step-by-step learning sequence will help you become more efficient and relaxed in freestyle, the most popular stroke. This learning process has already transformed thousands of swimmers, from beginners to elite. We estimate four to six 60-minute classes.
You may also order a detailed video
record of your skill practice on DVD.**

Different Strokes – Our instruction for Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly makes those strokes easy to learn as well. We’ll start with your current skill/ability level and build upon it through small, easily-mastered steps to swim any stroke efficiently and well.

These classes for seasoned swimmers, workshop grads, triathletes, Masters and competitive swimmers, will teach you the techniques of elite swimmers and the smartest, most efficient way to swim faster.

Swim Check – Learn what you’re doing well and how to improve your swimming with detailed digital video analysis. We’ll use multiple camera angles, both surface and underwater, along with frame-by-frame analysis, and comparison with video examples of expert TI technique to give you a complete understanding of your stroke mechanics and a plan for correction and improvement. One 60-minute session. Tuition: $95

All-Stroke Medley - The TI approach to comfort and flow with backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. This will help develop a solid foundation of efficiency and economy in all four strokes. We estimate three to four 60-minute classes for each stroke. You may order a detailed video record of your skill practice on DVD.**

High-Performance Swimming – This is an advanced class series, for graduates of our FME or All-Stroke Classes or TI Weekend Workshops. We begin by assessing and refining your drill execution, then move on to refining your whole-stroke swimming and complete the series by teaching you how to swim efficiently at higher speeds. We estimate three to four 60-minute classes for each stroke. You may order a detailed video record of your skill practice on DVD.**
