Informative and inspirational. Thanks for the tips for my son whose aiming at the 2014 Youth Olympics. Chad you rock!
Trying to download the swim programme brochure to pdf but nothing happens. I also went to the gym and they don’t have any and can’t tell me if they will get more. They were not very helpful.
Can you advise how I can get a programme for my son.
Thank you

Hi
I suffer from CFS and the only recommended excercise that I am supposed to do is swimming, but have a major phobia about letting go. I have been to numerous swimming instructors but none have the understanding of what I am experiencing which leaves me with a negative result and end up investing so much money and time and get no where. It has been my experience that the ‘trust’ factor has been the major problem.
I’m desperate to learn inspite of my mental block for swimming or letting go…..Please help
Thank you
Zarina I can only imagine how hard it must be for you. Which club do you train at? I’ll ask around for the best possible instructor to help you out
Thnks 4 your reply, the reason I haven’t joined as yet is becoz I first need to find some1 who specialises in swimming phobias… Then I can make a decision..
Thx
