Ocean-Connected Coaching in the Pool
At Swell, swim lessons are more than technique, they’re a relational bridge to the ocean. We teach foundational swim skills with emotional clarity, trauma-informed pacing, and a twist: everything in the pool relates back to ocean movement.
Whether you’re preparing for surf coaching, building water confidence, or recovering from injury, our approach meets you gently with attunement and care.
What Makes Our Swim Lessons Different
Ocean Connection
Every skill we teach; treading, backfloating, breath work, is linked to ocean readiness. We help swimmers understand how pool movement translates to surf safety and ocean awareness.
Board in the Pool
When safe and appropriate, we introduce a surfboard in the pool to build paddle strength, practice safe falling, and learn how to turn the board around; all in a controlled, emotionally spacious environment.
Traditional Skills, Reimagined
We teach everything you’d expect in a swim lesson: freestyle, backstroke, breath control, but with added emphasis on:
- Extended treading for surf stamina
- Back-floating for nervous system regulation
- Lifeguard drill for relational safety and self-rescue
