Adult Non-Swimmers
You can learn to swim.
It’s easy, fun and GUARANTEED,
or your money back!
Even if you have taken swimming lessons before, even if you cannot wash your hair under the shower, even if you look at a body of water as a suffocating liquid that frightens you, you can learn to swim.
If, after completing eight one-hour lessons you are not happy with your progress, we will refund your full fee.
Swimming is excellent exercise, but this is not a fitness program. This is a class designed to teach proper swimming technique to adults. There is a beginner level class for non-swimming adults and an advanced class for adults wishing to learn technique and advanced strokes. These skills may be used in future exercise training programs, however the water temperature in our pool is designed for teaching scenarios and is not recommended for distance or endurance purposes.

The Paul Oberle Method:
In 1969, Paul began developing his method of teaching swimming to adults. Paul found that many of his students who wanted to learn to scuba could not swim. The early days of scuba did not include equipment such as inflatable vests, therefore swimming skill requirements were much more rigid. Paul discovered that by initially putting a non-swimmer in vest, mask, snorkel, and fins to develop their confidence, and then reversing the process and removing the equipment one piece at a time, a person learned to swim with confidence.
You will begin by wearing an inflatable vest (you cannot possibly sink) while learning the freestyle and many more in-water techniques. You’ll be amazed as your confidence builds.
In addition to Paul’s unorthodox swim teaching methods, he is known as The Father of Scuba Rangers, a scuba program for children ages 8 – 12, a Pro 5000 Diver, Scuba Schools International Instructor Certifier #6278, Professional Association of Dive Instructors Instructor Emeritus #1210, and National Association of Underwater Instructors Instructor Emeritus #3112. Paul is a retired Captain of the Shreveport Fire Department dive team, and is a Deputy Marshal with the Bossier City Marshal's Office. Recently Paul was featured in the book Diving With Legends.
Testimonials
"My son has been taking swimming lessons at The Swim School for a little over a year and he's enjoyed every minute of it. His teacher is absolutely wonderful and very patient. After watching him become more advanced in swimming, I decided it was time for me to learn as well. For years I've been very afraid to learn how to swim, but the atmosphere here at The Swim School has made me much more comfortable. The Adult Swim class is wonderful. I would have never thought I could acutally learn how to swim better yet, has become something we can share as a family and I want to thank The Swim School teachers for that gift. You guys are wonderful. I hope you continue to spread the love of swimming for years to come." -Eliza Johnson
