Do you suffer from aquaphobia?
Nothing in this life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.”

If you recognise yourself in any of these scenarios you could be struggling with aquaphobia
● You avoid swimming pools and being in the sea.
● Panic sets in when you’re submerged in water.
● You can swim but you keep your head out of the water.
● You sit at the side during water-based activities like kayaking and paddleboarding.
If you said yes, you’re not alone. I’ve worked with many people with aquaphobia. It can stem from a frightening experience, a lack of confidence, or missing out on swimming lessons as a child.
But your aquaphobia needn’t be lifelong. You can learn how to understand water, overcome your anxieties and enjoy the mindfulness benefits of being in water.

Three Fundamental Coaching Principles of Brainwaves
Traditional adult swimming lessons get you into the water and swimming as quickly as possible. There's no focus on your mindset. You’re set up to fail before you start.
At Brainwaves, I coach differently. You’re given time to talk through any fears you may have. Your coaching sessions are built around addressing your fears step by step. Of course, I also want to know what your dreams are, so we can achieve those too.
Step 1 – Breathe
We breathe naturally every day. So why does breathing in water seem so difficult? In simple terms - it isn’t. Through practice, you’ll learn how to control your breathing and how to breathe out in water slowly.
Step 2 – Float
Water’s on your side. It wants to support you, lift you up and keep you at the surface. You’ll learn how water reacts to your movements and understand how your body works in water.
Step 3 – Glide
Gliding forms the transition between strokes. When you can glide confidently swimming becomes effortless.
