Hey folks,
This is a nice article on my work w/ swimmers w/ phobias. TI helps those struggling w/ fear of the water, too. Enjoy.

TI helps save a life!
Following is a marvelous testimony to the impact TI swimming has on someone's life, in an entirely unexpected way...

Hi,
I haven't been swimming since I went to the Caribbean in early Dec. and plan to start again today...but here is a great swimming lesson story.
In St. Thomas I was snorkeling and my sister was blobbing in the water floating on a "noodle" (she carries them in her suit case when we travel to water places!). A large sail boat anchored near the beach and the captain let the people either swim to shore or ride in the dingy. A couple was swimming to shore when the man realized he couldn't make it and started to go under...his wife screamed, we noticed it and I took off my snorkel gear, grabbed a noodle from my sister and swam (using TI of course) the noodle over to the couple. Everyone's day ended happy!
So, you took an 55 year old woman who didn't like to put her head in the water and didn't know how to swim, to a person who helped save someone's life...in less than 6 months!
Thanks so much! I swam everyday when my sister and I were on vacation...not so much over the holidays. Now I'm looking forward to getting my husband to water so I can show him how easy it is to swim!
