FINALLY!
The answer to overcoming your fear of water in no time at all so you can finally learn how to be comfortable in the water and swim without panic or stress (even if you’ve already tried everything)
And all without the need for therapy (just life-changing results)!
Our step by step programme has helped HUNDREDS of people overcome their fear of water and we can help you too.
I guess you are here because you’d love to feel calm and relaxed in the water but whatever you have tried, you can’t get past the feelings of stress, panic and fear whenever you get in the pool.
Does this sound familiar?
- You would love to swim and enjoy the water but the thought of letting go of the side or lifting your feet off the floor of the pool fills you with feelings of panic and dread
- You watch other people swim with ease and would so much love to join them but instead you feel ashamed and embarrassed that you can’t do it
- You’d love to swim under the water but you just know you’ll get water up your nose and choke and you can’t get that horrible, terrifying incident that happened when you were younger out of your head
- You would love to be able to float like everyone else, but you believe you will sink to the bottom if you try and have no clue how you will stand up again without going under
- You are sick and tired of missing out on so much and you’re ready to overcome this fear once and for all so you can finally join your family and friends in the pool
- You'd love to swim in the sea or a beautiful lake and feel joy, freedom and peace instaed of always sitting on the side watching
Chances are you’ve tried to overcome your fears, you may well have tried over and over again, but nothing seems to work.
- Maybe your friends and family have offered advice and you’ve had a go at what they suggested but ended up panicking and feel that you’ve let them down so you feel even more ashamed and embarrassed
- Perhaps you’ve tried to learn to swim hoping it will help you get over your fears but instead you’ve struggled to make progress, you’re still terrified, you hate every stroke and if you get water on your face, you panic
- You may have plucked up the courage to go for swimming lessons but because you can’t let go of the side or bear the water on your face, the teacher doesn’t know how to help you so they give you a float and leave you to get on with it or they blame you and say you’re just not a swimmer
- Perhaps you found a quiet corner of the pool on holiday and were determined to just get in, to ‘stop being silly and just do what everyone else seems to find so easy’. It doesn’t go well, you panic, slink back to your sunbed and spend the rest of the holiday making excuses to stay out of the water
The problem is that you can’t just "DO IT"
With the wrong advice or without taking the right steps to learn the essential (easy!) skills you need, your fear can easily be made worse, and you can find yourself further back than when you started.
As you’ve most likely discovered, the things you have tried just don’t work and this is why:
- They ignore the absolutely crucial game-changing steps that you need to take before you even think about getting in the water, the quick, simple steps that change everything and that make it possible and even easy to overcome your fears
- None of them are based on an understanding of why you have a fear of water. And because they don’t understand the problem, they can’t know how to solve it so they approach things in the wrong way and it doesn’t work (unbelievably, most swimming teachers are not taught how to help people with a water phobia!)
- They don’t help you learn the essential, easy way to stop the panic before it even starts
- None of them give you the practical tools you need - a gentle, easy to follow step by step plan that keeps you feeling safe
In fact, so many of my clients have told me how the other things they tried just made them panic and stressed, how every time they tried and failed made them feel worse; their feelings of shame and embarrassment increased, their confidence and feelings of self-belief plummeted, and some of them just couldn’t face trying again. Instead they resigned themselves to missing out forever.
If this sounds familiar then know that I hear you and I understand how you feel but please, don’t give up, it doesn’t have to be like this!
You don't have to struggle alone any longer.
There is another way - that works!
Chrissy’s story
“An incident in a pool when I was 6 years old had left me with a fear of water, if I couldn’t touch the bottom of the pool or sea…my body would tense up, my breathing would become shorter, I’d feel out of control and I’d be frantically looking for a way to the shore or the side of the pool, hoping no one would sense my panic – the feeling was awful, frightening. I tried to overcome it but my embarrassment meant I just started to avoid the water unless I could stay in the shallow end – I hadn’t been in water for over 5 years until my session with Sarah.
From the start, Sarah had told me it was understandable, natural and OK for me to have the fear, she explained I was going to learn to trust the water – I did have tears at the start of my session, I’d got very anxious that I wouldn’t be able to do it, but that first time I went underwater and breathed properly was amazing, it felt natural, my body wasn’t tense and I felt no panic.
The opportunity to practise this with Sarah to guide and encourage me was exactly what I needed to overcome my fear. It’s taken me 52 years to do this but now I have, I am now learning to learn to swim properly with Sarah and to make up for lost water time!”
Chrissy can now swim front crawl in comfort and loves open water swimming in lakes and the sea! Brilliant!

Rebekah's Story
"Truly life-changing stuff and if I can do it, anyone can.
“I was born in the 70s and my parents were non-swimmers. I had the standard swimming lessons at school and learned to swim (badly) and to have a terrible fear of water, by about 11 years old.
I have spent all my adult life avoiding the water and/or being terrified when I was in it. I have two teenage boys and a husband who are all competent swimmers and comfortable with all water-based activities that I could never participate fully in. The prospect of a family kayaking holiday finally prompted me to see if there were any adult swimming lessons available and fortunately, I found Sarah and Swimmingly!
Arriving for my first lesson was hard and even talking about my fear of the water made me cry. I started my lessons not really believing that I would be able to conquer my fears. Sarah was so patient, kind and understanding from the outset and I always felt supported and not pressured. The techniques that she uses and the skills that she has are remarkable.
The progress I have made, from not being able to put my face in the water and fearing getting splashed or ducked under, to being able to swim underwater confidently, is a startling change. My goal, when I started my lessons, was to be able to jump into the water…and here we are – I did it!
This is truly life-changing stuff and if I can do it, anyone can.”
Amazing achievement! 👏🏻👏🏻

The truth is that with the right teaching and understanding, it is absolutely possible for ANYONE to overcome their fears (yes even you!) and it’s easier than you think.
You just need to go about it in the right way
