"The TRUST approach is such a basic shift in approach. I have spent years teaching students the right way to kick, breathe, and stroke their arms. It was amazing the results of simply teaching them how the water holds them up and how to always count on it. I wouldn't consider going back."
"I was very skeptical of this approach. It simply seems too easy. My third student went from incapable of putting her face in the water to swimming the length of the pool in 3 one-hour lessons. I'm sold."
"The thankful look I get the first time the student makes the connection of how they are actually in control in the water is the most rewarding experience. Teaching adults who were convinced they couldn't possibly learn has convinced me I've found one of the most rewarding careers out there."
"As an ISR teacher of many years, it felt so right to finally understand why my skilled swimmers were still often so very uncomfortable in the water. Not only were they more skilled after adjusting my approach, they were happier and it took so much less physical effort on my part. My shoulders and wrists are FOREVER grateful."
"This is an approach - a philosophy - not a rigid dogma. You can apply as little or as much of it as you feel appropriate. I found it so effective I started applying it more and more and more. Sometimes when I notice I'm seeing old issues in my students, I realize I've forgotten the TRUST fundamentals. When I reapply them I am continuously blown away with how effective they are."
"It makes it easy to imagine a day when nearly every child and adult will be a comfortable, competent swimmer."
"I now always use the TRUST approach with my older ISR kiddos and the scared to death children!! It is great!!"
