Adult Swim Program
Did you know that swimming can improve your mental health?
Research shows that swimming can lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, increase natural substances like endorphins and dopamine, and improve your overall well-being.
Being in or near water can help us enter a mindful state, which has numerous benefits for releasing stress, calming anxiety, better sleep, and improving our mood.
If you enjoy being in and near water, come join us! Deepen your experience of the freedom, joy, and mental health support that water has to offer.
If you are an adult who has no or limited training in swimming, would you like to access and experience these benefits?
What if were possible to:
Increase your comfort level in the water
Learn safety skills
Nourish your well-being through swimming
Develop a freeing & peaceful relationship with water
…And what if you could do it in beautiful South Florida?
For adults with limited swimming experience, our Water & Well-Being program offerings are your opportunity to be supported both in your physical skillset and mindset as you begin or continue learning to swim.
For real though?!
Hi, I’m Sarah King and I had the privilege of learning how to swim at a young age. I fell in love with the water and swam in college as a competitive swimmer. Along the way, in addition to the physical health benefits of exercise, I learned firsthand how much peace of mind, clarity, and stress relief swimming can provide. The water held me as a safe place to process my thoughts and emotions.
My first job was as a swim instructor when I was 16 years and I have taught ever since! Although I have coached many ages and skill levels, my favorite swim clients have been adult beginners. I specialize in gently guiding adults with no or limited experience to learn the fundamentals of swimming. It is a joy to see participants not only create a new, healthy relationship with water but also discover the mental health benefits of how calm and relaxing swimming can be!
Outside of the water, as a Speaker and Healing Arts Practitioner, I equip those who serve others with tools to remember themselves and nurture their well-being so they can pursue their passions from a sustainable, wholehearted place. Since being in or near water can be an incredible tool for well-being, I’m honored to share my experience and passions through these swim experience offerings.
It is not too late to start learning how to swim.
Over the course of 24 years, I’ve taught hundreds of people with no experience how to swim. I’ve seen once-fearful adult beginner swimmers fall in love with the water. Multiple times. It is possible! It is even realistic.
With the tools, mindset support, and swimming knowledge available to you through our program offerings, it is time.
As an adult, you carry several heavy responsibilities in life. It is time to access this incredible access point for well-being, relaxation, fun, and health!
I have guided several adults with no experience in achieving significant improvements in their comfort level, skill, confidence, and enjoyment of the water in just a handful of lessons.
Imagine you are laying on the softest bed you can think of and relaxing as you are supported. Now imagine you can feel that support and peace anytime you swim.
Own your chance to feel weightless as you release stress and learn critical life-saving skills.
Sounds good!

Testimonials from previous adult swimming clients:
“You have made a tremendous difference to my life. Really can’t thank you enough for your patience, encouragement, and support to help me get over to the deep end literally and in my mind. So a heartfelt thank you!”
Gugush, Adult Beginner Swim Client
“Everything was perfect. Enough structure and very comfortable. I never felt rushed or uneasy. I had enough time to reflect and be by myself. But never felt like I was waiting around wondering what to do.
Also, I can swim. With my face in the water. I learned that after being afraid of any water deeper than a bathtub since I was 6 years old, if I can let myself be still, feel the water, then I can float and I can breath and I can move through it. Literally and metaphorically.”
“I had fun and you are a great teacher!”
- Surphia, Adult Beginner Swim Client
Turn the tide in your relationship with water.
What will the swim instruction look like?
Patient guidance at your pace
Frequent check-ins to gauge comfort and understanding, address questions, and design our next steps accordingly.
If attending a group class, swim instruction will be in small groups of 4 or fewer participants per instructor
High-quality professional coaching and support
Since each participant progresses at their own pace, we will not guarantee full swimming ability in a certain amount of time.
However, each swimming participant will significantly increase their comfort level and fundamental skills with each lesson.

Just imagine how you may apply this newfound courage and confidence outside of the water as well!
