Taking Your First Swimming Breath

Learning how to take your first swimming breath can be overwhelming:

“What if I inhale water?”
“What if I come up too late?”
“What if I choke and can’t find the wall?”

This wasn’t about skill.

It’s about trust.

And rightfully so, if you have never taken a breath in the pool, it’s hard to trust that you CAN and WILL be able to.

This is the #1 challenge for new swimmers.
