What keeps a swim instructor in the swim lesson business? The days are often too hot or cold. The water temperature is often the same way. Some children cry or scream through the entire first lesson.An adult will grab your arm with enough force to break you arm. That is mild to the cuts and slashes one can receive, from an adult female afraid of the water and in a panic state of mind.One terrified adult climbed up my body climbed up my body and came at rest atop of my shoulders and head with her body completely out of the water.Swim lessons are physically demanding and often emotionally and mentally tiring.

Swim instructors stay in the business, because nothing beats the moment a person realizes, they do not have to be afraid of the water anymore. Watching a child realize that he/she is staying on top of the water through their own skill and abilities, never grows old.

The same process occurs with adults. Teaching adults how to swim has the added pleasure of watching people that have been afraid of water and avoiding water their whole lives completely change. One lady I taught how to swim was 66 years old when she learned to swim. She told me she was so happy that she could enjoy the water and did not have to be terrified every time she got near any body of water.
