In the video below (by KARE 11 News), notice how the swim instructor says that safety comes with a device (i.e. goggles or floatation device.)  At Orca Swim School, we teach our students that safety comes from knowing how not to panic, how everyone needs to know how their own body and the water work together, and the need to understand your own buoyancy/floating position.

Chrissy Teigen proudly shares a clip on Instagram of her husband taking the plunge after he confessed he couldn’t swim.

If you’re like many John Legend and many other adults, you’ve been frustrated or embarrassed that you weren’t free to swim “like everybody else.” Half of adults can’t swim, like you! We meet them all the time. They’ve tried every system, including the traditional programs, with no success.
Since 1999, we’ve helped hundreds of adults overcome their fear and discomfort in water with our proven system built on the 5 Circles Teaching Method. The Miracle Swimming system uses the nuts and bolts of mindfulness to address the root of the problem and will transform the way you feel and think about water for the rest of your life.
“Ultimately, we connect people to the way swimming should feel, not just the way it should look.”
