The Gentle
Touch Technique

We are hands on with all our students through the series of lessons.  We believe that by using a gentle touch while maneuvering the students through the swimming skills, they develop a sense of trust and security that enables them to become comfortable with the instructor and encourages them to accept new challenges.  The method allows the instructor to vary the contact with the student until they are capable of performing the skills unaided.
