Thank you for the comment llan91. It is truly delightful to watch the transformation. I'm asking around for anyone in Denver. You can also call around to swim schools in your area and ask them to tell you about their philosophy of working with scared swimmers and their process for teaching those swimmers. For most swim schools, adults are an afterthought because children are the big market; but some have a valid adult component as well. I'll let you know if I find someone. And, of course, feel free to come join us in Fort Worth for a weekend - we can work something out. BEST of luck on your journey.
Hi. In don't know any facilities in the Bay Area, but I suspect there are some with a similar philosophy. Call around and tell the programs that you're interested in their philosophy and process of teaching adults (and scared adults if that category fits you) to swim. Find someone who has a process and a plan that sounds like something that you'd be comfortable with. You can also ask how many people are in their program. If they just teach you like they do their kids program - you probably want to try somewhere else.
Congratulations 🎉
I smiled for you the whole time watching. I wish there was a similar school in Denver that focused on being comfortable in the water.

Is there a similar academy as this in the Bay Area, California near Oakland. Would really love to join.
