Hello everyone. I hope you are well. I’ve recently started learning to swim and it has been going well but I am unable to swim an entire lap. When I pause in the middle, I rest by touching my feet on the floor. However, the pool near my place goes from shallow to deep and when I reach a point where I can’t touch the ground I freak out because I am still very afraid of deep water. I can float on my back and do the doggy paddle, but since all my training has taken place in the shallow end I am not used to being in deep water. The moment I reach deep water, I start sinking, and I am not used to not being able to touch the ground. Are there any tips that have helped you overcome a fear of deep water? I was hoping to gain some understanding by watching the Deep Water Mastery and Treading Water Mastery classes, but I am unable to access the courses. Could you also guide me on how I can access them?

Just staring to learning to tread water 😀

I have tried countless times over many years to learn to swim, with different instructors. However, despite successfully learning to float on my front and back. I have never gotten over my innate fear of water, especially deep water. I also have difficulty breathing properly whilst learning to swim. I purchased the shallow water & deep water mastery workbooks. Plus the treading belt and treading water course. In the hope of finally getting over my fears and becoming a swimmer.

I used to be ok with treading water I’m still ok if there is a coach with me but I can’t do it alone and also I used to have no problem swimming to the deep end and from the deep end but one time I got tired before I reach the shallow end and I felt to grab something and I didn’t find it and I ask the lifeguard to pull me and another time the coach tell me to not swim to the deep end even though I felt I was capable and these two times only made me terrified from going to and from deep end but I still can trade water with a coach only. I swim all the shallow end until I reach the deep end line and I get terrified I wonder why is that

Hello everyone my name is Nadia, hope everyone is well. I’m here as I want to develop my confidence in deep water and learn treading water, any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you 😊
