promoting positive change in mental and physical health, in and out of the pool
Hybrid water workouts designed to help you build water confidence, practice breath control, and optimize performance.
one workout, many benefits
Water Confidence
Get comfortable in the water by spending time in our pools. We build and practice the skills necessary to stay confident and efficient in the water.
Breathing Techniques
Breath is a free tool we all have access to. Every session starts with breath work to practice using it properly. When our heart rate increases during the workout, we use our breath to bring it down.
High-Intensity, Low-Impact
Get a killer workout done in a low-impact environment without any wear or tear. We provide a safe and unique alternative to other high-impact training programs.
Stress Management & Coping
During sessions, you’ll become familiar with the stressful desire to breathe while underwater. We’ll develop coping tools to mitigate this stress and other life stressors, including depression and anxiety.
Community Building
Join other water enthusiasts and like-minded individuals who push their limits together in the pool. Experience a sense of camaraderie and belonging.
Mental Resilience
After a challenging workout in the pool, you’ll feel confident in your ability to do anything you put your mind to. This mental resilience will translate into optimized performance in sport and life.
