Can a poor swimmer attend a TI workshop?
To attend a TI workshop, you should be able to swim at least 50 meters (two lengths in a 25m pool). Any swimmer who can meet this requirement is welcomed at the workshop, no matter how slow or difficult the 50 meter swim may be. Our record of turning strugglers (even those who have been frustrated for years) into swimmers is unmatched; we can help you progress enormously in two days – far more than years of tedious laps would accomplish. You will leave your workshop with a specific plan for improvement and the tools to make it happen. If you are a complete non-swimmer, and are unable and/or fearful to swim in deep water, we suggest you start by practicing the water exploration skills in our DVD, Happy Laps. Additionally, “Learn to Swim” workshops for adults are offered at our New Paltz, NY Swim Studio, and there are many excellent TI coaches located across the country who can offer you personalized attention to get you started.
