Our Philosophy

With a coaching philosophy born from a love of the water and adventure, our goal is to help every swimmer build the skills, confidence, and endurance to navigate aquatic environments for life.
 
We take a different approach from traditional swim instruction. Our methodology focuses on buoyancy, breath control, body awareness, technique, and patterning to help swimmers move more efficiently, conserve energy, and build endurance. As swimmers grow and their needs change, we continue to refine their skills and challenge them to reach their next level.
 
Sarah Fretwell's methodology draws on more than 20 years of coaching experience and a BA in Recreation (yes, that is a real degree), incorporating Total Immersion techniques, behavior management, adaptive aquatics, and transformational coaching, as well as hands-on experience teaching swimmers of all ages and abilities.

As a global water adventurer, Sarah has explored the world's waters through sailing, freediving, scuba diving, kiteboarding, surfing, outrigger canoeing, stand-up paddling, and ocean swimming, bringing firsthand experience of diverse aquatic environments to her teaching.
 
Our goal is simple: to give you the skills, confidence and endurance to pursue whatever aquatic adventure you want, wherever it takes you.
