Once your swimmer is comfortable floating independently on their back, it’s time to challenge that confidence a little more.

Start encouraging them to remain on their back for longer periods of time without immediately reaching to grab them.

As parents, our natural instinct may be to grab our swimmer the moment they look unsure, but giving them a little more time allows them to recognize, “I’m okay. I can stay here.”

The goal is to build more than the ability to float. We’re building comfort, patience, body awareness, and confidence while independently maintaining a safe position in the water.

Progress the challenge gradually while remaining right there with your swimmer and ready to support when needed. Confidence is earned through safe, intentional repetition. 🌈

We’re looking for an adult model swimmer who is terrified of the water and has experienced a traumatic situation around water to be featured in upcoming educational YouTube content with Coach Klarc and Raynboe Swan. 🌈🦢

This opportunity is for someone who wants to work through fear, build confidence, and become more comfortable in the water while allowing us to document the learning process honestly.

Location: Houston, TX
Swimmer type: Adult beginner who is terrified of the water
Background: Has experienced trauma or a deeply fearful experience around water

The goal is to show a real learning journey — not perfection — and help educate others who may also struggle with fear, trauma, and water confidence.

If this sounds like you and you’re interested, send us a DM with a little about your experience with water and why you feel you’d be a good fit for this opportunity.

Please note: This model opportunity is for Raynboe Swan educational content and is separate from the free programming offered through Raynboe Swan Foundation.

We’re looking for a fearful or nervous beginner swimmer to be featured in upcoming educational YouTube content with Coach Klarc and Raynboe Swan. 🌈🦢

This opportunity is for a child who is still learning how to become comfortable, confident, and safe in the water.

Age range: 6 months–3 years old
Swimmer type: Fearful / nervous beginner
Location: Houston, TX

The goal is to show a real learning experience—not perfection. I want families to see what early water confidence can actually look like and better understand what children may experience as they begin learning.

Parent consent is required for filming and use of content.

If this sounds like your child and you’re interested, send us a DM with your child’s age and a little about their current comfort level in the water.

Is your child swallowing water during swim lessons?

Here’s something parents should understand: being comfortable in the water and knowing how to manage your breath are two different skills.

For some children, breath control has to be intentionally taught and practiced. They’re learning how to keep their mouth closed when needed, hold their breath during submersion, and understand when to inhale and when to exhale so they can better manage water around their face and mouth.

We also have to teach children that pool water is NOT for drinking.

When a child repeatedly opens their mouth underwater or tries to breathe at the wrong time, they may swallow water, cough, become uncomfortable, or begin to panic. That’s why we don’t just teach children to “go underwater.” We teach them how to respond while they’re underwater.

Early and consistent water exposure can help children become more familiar with water reaching their face and head while they develop stronger breath-control habits over time.

The goal is understanding.

When water reaches my face, what do I do?
When do I hold my breath?
When do I inhale?
When do I exhale?
Why shouldn’t I swallow the water?

These are important pieces of water education.

We aren’t simply trying to get children comfortable with getting wet. We’re helping them understand their body, their breathing, and how to respond safely and calmly in the water.

Most adults struggle with kicking with a kickboard in the beginning—and there’s a reason why.

They’ll start kicking, feel like they’re not moving, and then completely stop. Once they stop, the legs drop, the body gets heavier in the water, and moving forward becomes even harder.

Yes, kicking with a kickboard is hard. You’re using multiple muscle groups at the same time while learning how to control your breathing, understand when to inhale and exhale, maintain your body position, and keep a consistent kick.

It’s not just about moving your legs.

You’re learning how to coordinate your entire body so you can stay lighter in the water, maintain momentum, and move across the pool with control.

That coordination takes practice—but once everything begins working together, you can feel the difference.

Learning how to swim as an adult shouldn’t take YEARS.

You should be gaining valuable information, body awareness, and skills consistently—so that what you’re learning actually translates into improvement.

A strong swim coach isn’t only watching whether you can stay afloat. They’re paying attention to how your body moves, where you lack strength or control, and what muscle groups need to be developed to help you move more efficiently in the water.

Learning how to swim is so much deeper than simply “staying up.”

The muscles you strengthen in the gym are the same muscles you learn to intentionally use in the water.

For example, we’ve been intentionally strengthening her core. Why? Because a strong core supports stability, body control, alignment, balance, and so many other skills needed to move confidently and efficiently through the water.

We’re not just teaching you how to swim. We’re teaching you how to understand and control your body in the water.

Deep water can create an immediate rush of anxiety—especially when you know you can’t touch the bottom.

That’s exactly why we intentionally put our swimmers in controlled, uncomfortable situations in the water. It’s not only about the physical skill. It’s about building confidence, controlling emotions, and teaching the mind to stay calm instead of panic.

When that anxious feeling kicks in, the goal is to remember: stay calm, trust your body, and work your way back to safety.

So many adults have a fear of being in water where they can’t touch. Exercises like this help challenge that fear in a controlled environment while building the confidence and awareness needed in deeper water.

Confidence in the water isn’t just something you feel—it’s something you build. 🌈🦢

This is his all-time favorite thing to do during class, and he is ALWAYS showing out! I love seeing this level of confidence in the water.

While he’s having fun, we’re still putting in the work—practicing listening, learning how to calm and control the body when transitioning onto the back, and continuing to build independent swim skills.

Confidence, control, and independence. 🌈🦢

What an honor it is to teach a one-year-old so much in just 30 minutes.

Discipline. Emotional intelligence. Learning how to regulate big emotions. Receiving reassurance while still being encouraged to keep going. And through it all, building essential water-safety skills.

Even though she’s not speaking in full sentences yet, she’s processing everything and showing me through her actions that she understands. Children are capable of understanding so much more than we sometimes give them credit for.

This is so much bigger than learning how to swim. We’re helping children build confidence, awareness, emotional regulation, and safety from an early age.

That’s what this is about. 🌈🦢

The child can be 6 months old — I am not changing my vocabulary.

I speak to my swimmers under 1 with the same clarity and intention that I use with children 2 and up. Babies understand far more than people give them credit for.

I read comments like, “She really thinks a child that young understands what she’s saying.”

YES. I absolutely do.

And even when they don’t understand every word immediately, consistency matters. With continued exposure to the same language, terms, and cues throughout class, they begin to recognize what is being asked of them.

We don’t have to water down our communication simply because a child is young. Speak clearly. Be consistent. Give them the opportunity to learn.

You’d be surprised by how much they understand. 🌈🦢
