This book is very, very impressive and leaves no doubt in my mind why your system works. The book does a tremendous job of sharing your method. The concepts, the language, and the detailed steps. are easy to understand. You anticipate and explain in great detail a lot of the things that happen in the water that scare novices. Your book answered a lot of questions I have had, and explained a lot of what I have experienced in the water. -S.N. No matter where you are with your swimming today, it's just the right place to begin. To move from here to there in water with ease and the ability to stop and rest without needing the bottom or the side of the pool, start at the beginning and skip no steps. Swimming comes automatically and naturally, the same way you learned to walk. Formal strokes are not part of this book. This course has been taught and honed since 1983 by Transpersonal Swimming Institute in Berkeley, California. The author founded this swim school exclusively for adults afraid in water. It sets a new standard for all teaching.
