If This Sounds Like You…
You’re Not Alone

  • You’ve avoided pools for years.
  • You feel embarrassed you never learned.
  • Deep water makes your chest tighten.
  • You don’t know how to breathe or float.
  • Want to enjoy vacations, family time, and pool days but fear holds you back.
Many adults carry shame around swimming. Many kids feel overwhelmed and misunderstood in traditional lessons. This is a judgment-free space.

Meet Rachael

Coaching from me is through feeling the freedom of water and facing their fears by feeling vs. thinking. Encouraging thoughts to help clients get out of their head and into their heart. The heart is the source of the feeling and the healing, and the water is the home to which the client can learn to face those fears. As a certified life coach, swim instructor and lifeguard with you as a personal coach, you will learn to embrace water, learn techniques and skills, strokes, and more importantly how to enjoy and love being in the water. Everyone should be allowed to have the gift of swimming, and more importantly, safely, with confidence and acceptance of allowing the water to completely support them. Learning how to find your own float and feeling confident in it is such a relaxing and rewarding experience in life. Allowing to just be is an amazing gift to give to yourself. Whether you have no experience in swimming, have experienced a traumatic experience that has held you back from learning and enjoying, a disability that prevents you from wanting to enjoy the water, I want you to feel confident and comfortable to enjoy all the joys and teachings you can experience once you learn the gift of learning how to swim. From enjoying the pool with family and friends, to snorkeling in the warm crystal-clear waters of our beautiful earth, let’s take a step together to give you the gift of that freedom.

Testimonies

Alex M
Rachael is not only an incredible swim instructor, but also an amazing person. Her knowledge in the pool and in water is incredible, and has allowed me to grow so much as a swimmer. I started as someone who had fear in water, and she has helped me grow beyond that to now someone who feels confident. She helps you learn at your own pace, making sure you are comfortable. And also - her lessons are FUN! She is absolutely the right person to go to.

Rachael has been working with my son for several years and has been such a gift to our family! When I first found Growing Space, my son had had multiple swim teachers who used so many different methods and strategies. He was confused and, most importantly, lacking essential water safety skills. Rachael worked with him to build his confidence, solidify his skills, and continue to become a stronger swimmer. He’s now a safe and happy swimmer thanks to Rachael and Growing Space!

You’re Right On Time.
