Training Services in Swadlincote
Swimming lessons in Derbyshire.
Just ’round the corner’ or ‘as the crow flies’ you will find me in Swadlincote. I have a private pool where I give people who are phobic of the water the ability to learn to swim by having swimming lessons in my private pool.
I had a deep water phobia and really understand how a person may feel about getting into the water or, actually allowing the water to take their weight and rely upon it. As far as I was concerned to do that was just as bad as thinking about running into a burning building to try and save someone.
People who have been swimming for as long as they can remember have no idea how we feel. Everyone has an Achilles Heel sometimes it is just a matter of finding the fear that your friends, family have, so because you are frightened of the water does not make you a wimp, stupid or a kill joy. In fact because you will not go near the water is a very wise thing you are feeling.
How many times have you read in a newspaper, or heard on the news that someone has drowned and that person could swim.
I really feel very sad whenever I mention this case: ” a husband and wife walking by the side of a river with their young baby in a pushchair. The small river was swollen and moving very fast. Their 2 dogs jumped into the moving water and because the two people were accomplished swimmers they both jumped into the swollen current to save the dogs.
Now ask yourself? Would YOU do that? NO! Very wise! But the swimmers did because they wanted to save their dogs, and there is nothing wrong with that. Ask yourself, what about your child? I know that as a person who is afraid of the water, your little baby would be your prime concern. You would understand that you may drown.
So do not beat yourself up because you are frightened of the water, because both of these people thought that they were ‘safe’ because they could swim lost their lives.
It is just that our fear is not understood by thousands of people. Rest assured that I have been there and as they say, got the tee shirt, read the book, got the film, got the cd, saw the play, and everything else that you can imagine. I know how you feel.
