Caribe Nation, When my students arrive in Puerto Rico, we don’t start with strokes. We start with the first 4 foundational steps. Because if the foundation is solid, swimming becomes simple. If it’s not… it doesn’t matter how hard you try. Here’s the truth: If you haven’t learned to swim yet, it’s almost always because one of these steps is missing. If you want to see exactly how we build this step-by-step, watch the video: 👉 [The First 4 Steps to Swimming (No Fear)] The First 4 Steps: 1. Relaxation (out of the water first) If you can’t create relaxation outside the water, you won’t sustain it inside. 2. Proper warm-up You don’t just jump in and “figure it out.” Your body needs time to adjust and feel safe. 3. Breath control (20 seconds) You should be able to hold a calm, relaxed breath for 20 seconds. 4. Front float You must be able to relax and let the water support you. Miss one of these, and everything after gets harder. Get all four, and everything gets easier. I can’t wait to hear what stands out to you. BIG Love, Coach Jeff P.S. I’m filling the final spots for my June & July retreats in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
