This is an invitation to know water more water intimately-- to gain the confidence, knowledge and skills to spend more time in our precious lakes, rivers, and oceans. We will focus on open water comfort and safety considerations that are different from swimming in a pool. We will also do some swim skill building geared towards beginner or intermediate swimmers. This is an experience of water in its most natural state. Mindfulness, meditation and self inquiry will be integrated into the experience. There is nothing quite like swimming in a natural body of water under the wide open sky - come join!
Please note this class is a space for those who identify as a Person of Color. Please contact oshunswimschool@gmail.com if you have questions or want to find a different way to be involved!
