Need your help: How to Hold Your Breath
Caribe Nation, I’m working on a secret project that is going to CHANGE THE GAME... Jan 1, 2026, you will have access to a tool that gives you the exact solution to EVERY fear, mistake, or panic moment in learning to swim. BUT, to make it perfect, I need your experience. Question: What happens to you when you try to put your face in the water and hold your breath? Tell me the truth — not the filtered version. Think about: - What you feel (fear, panic, overwhelm) - What you think (“I’ll drown,” “I can’t breathe,” “I’ll lose control”) - What your body does (nose burns, chest tightens, tense neck, water in nose) - Any emotional or spiritual reactions (“something bad will happen,” “I’m not safe,” etc.) - Any strategies you have used to master this step - How many [estimated] practice repetitions this took to master - Any additional information you think may help!  Big or small. Logical or not. Doesn’t matter. If it happens, I want to know it. Your answers will help me create a tool that solves these problems for you and every new adult swimmer who comes after you. Post your experience below! BIG Love.– Coach Jeff P.S. I will be sending another email on your front floating experience later this week. I would love your continued support then as well!

Hi Jeff! Before I started following your program sticking my whole head in the water was a terrifying feeling. I followed your beginning series and the relaxation techniques were very helpful. Honestly it took me about 500 reps before I am now quite comfortable as long as I have breath left. Once I start running out of air then I panic. My strongest feeling is that I will inhale a ton of water and drown! Even in shallow water. So I have not been able to get past the stage of doing a forward stroke as long as I have air. After that I just want to STAND up and take a breath. I have tried to take a breath with my head up and out of water but I can never do it because soon as I stick my head up I start sinking… But I have made a lot of progress in just 6 months. So I will keep persevering and will continue to follow your program.

Hope you enjoyed your well deserved time away! Yes please- front glide and breathing. I keep getting submerged when I try to raise my head to breathe. As a result I panic and then either stand up or get frustrated. I have tried side breathing and am able to do that with my hands on step but afraid to let go of the step.
Poll: New Swimmer Welcome Kit!
Caribe Nation, We are considering building a 'New Swimmer Welcome Kit' that includes the goggles, caps, shammies, shampoos, body wash, ear drops, etc, that we recommend. Is this something that would help / something you would have / would consider purchasing through Caribe Swim as a trusted brand? P.S. Add comments on products I did not list that you would want to include!

I want to do water aerobics safely knowing I can save myself in the event of a mishap (it has happened to me and I was completely terrified)
Standing Up Help!
Caribe Nation, For most new swimmers, their biggest fear is sinking... But, with a few simple Caribe Swim tips, that fear of sinking completely reverses… And becomes a fear of standing up. We transition from thinking we can never swim To swimming so well, we don’t know how to get back down. Sound Familiar? Leave a comment below! In this video, Coach Meredith will explain staying inside your ‘zone of comfort’, not pushing beyond your comfort zone, and then helping Brenda & Marshall learn how to stand up! Watch Here: Standing Up is The Process & The Outcome You will notice different standing-up techniques… ALL OF THEM ARE PERFECT: Example 1: ‘The Push Off’ Example 2: ‘The Confident Standup’ Example 3: ‘The Barely Touch’ Example 4: ‘The Just Sink’ AND… In the final example, you see me doing the following 3 steps: 1. Driving my arms to my waist  2. Shifting my legs underneath me 3. Pushing my legs to the bottom of the pool and lifting my head ALL work perfectly. Remember, our goal is to stand up. Don’t worry so much about what it looks like… Just… Stand… Up!… Watch here: Standing Up is The Process & The Outcome 💪 BIG Love, Coaches Jeff and Meredith P.S. Let us know if you like these short and helpful technique videos! Leave a comment below! We LOVE hearing from you 🙂

@Jeff Wood today for the FIRST TIME EVER I floated on my front with my hands off the bottom step!! It was an amazing feeling. I practiced it about 30 times and feel pretty good about it. I want to let go of the step area but I feel uncomfortable until I am sure I can stand up on my own. I tried but got stuck at that step. Do I need to keep doing the step area for even longer? And how do I transition to where I can let go and stand up on my own?
