The Miracle Swimmer Learn to Be in Control in Water, Shallow and Deep: Prevent Panic

There's a body of knowledge a swimming student must have before he/she can be successful in a typical Beginning Swimming class. This includes how to remain in control, how to keep water out of one's nose, how to put one's face in water comfortably, how to let the water hold one up, what to do if it doesn't hold one up, how to let the water do the work, and how to be one with the water. This video/DVD is one of two sources of this information to date. It's the "picture that's worth 1000 words" that goes with the book published in 2006, Conquer Your Fear of Water: An Innovative Self-Discovery Course in Swimming.
