Swim Foundations II: At Peace in the Deep is an invitation to transform the depths into a place of peace, comfort, joy, and safety.  By slowly and intentionally leaning into trust building with ourselves, eachother, and the water, we unravel the fears and blocks that arise in deeper water, and are free to have new experiences.  During this 9 hour course, we strengthen skills gained in Swim Foundations I such as breathing, body alignment, and floating, as well as playing with new skills such as jumping into deep water, and deep water safety.  You are encouraged to take part in at least two months of deep water classes!
