Why Do Adults Fear Water?
Fear of water isn’t just about never learning to swim—it often runs much deeper. In fact, most adults struggling with water confidence fall into one of these five categories:
🔹 First-hand experience – A past traumatic event, like a near-drowning or panic episode in water.
🔹 Second-hand experience – Witnessing someone else struggle or hearing fearful stories about water.
🔹 Social pre-conditioning – Growing up around family members who feared water, unknowingly passing that fear down.
🔹 Can swim, but still fearful – That’s right! Many adults can physically swim but still feel anxious, tense, or unsafe in deeper water.
🔹 Undeveloped water skills – A lack of proper training or gaps in technique, leading to discomfort and uncertainty.

Real People, Real Results - Success Stories from Swimly
My water confidence was masked away almost 26 years ago by an unexpected event. Today, just after 3 lessons that confidence is back thanks to my swimming coach, Jason!
I’m enormously grateful for helping me out to regain what I thought I have lost. This has been achieved thanks to the methods used, such as empowering coaching techniques, and practical and technical skills. I can now say that I have started to swim with ease and enjoyment from the shallow to the deep end and vice-versa.
I just want to swim on a daily basis. I know this is just the beginning as there’s a long way to improve and master my swimming skills, but I have obtained the number one key skill, No Fear from being in deep waters. I’m totally looking forward to continuing my swimming lessons and taking it a step further; overcome the fear of the ocean.
Julian
My experience with Swimly has been nothing short of amazing. Jason demonstrates an excellent understanding of Aquaphobia and helped me gradually overcome my fear of deep water.
He’s encouraging and helped me push beyond my psychological barriers in a safe and reassuring way. I am much more confident in the pool now than ever! I cannot recommend him enough!
Pooja
I’ve been working with Jason for a few weeks and he has been amazing! As someone who can swim but was fearful of water Jason has done a fantastic job helping me overcome this.
He has been supportive and has tailored my lessons accordingly, his approach is methodical and he has really taken the time to understand and encourage me – swimming laps and ocean swimming now feels like a real possibility for me!
Sarah
I have had lessons before that address the fact that I can’t swim. But there aren’t any instructors who adequately address fear of water. That’s why I sought out Jason.
He is so patient, encouraging and an excellent body language reader! He can tell when I’m out of my depth (no pun intended) and takes a step back if necessary. I am on my swimming journey at my pace and I’m very grateful for having Jason as a coach. Thanks Jason!
Sania
I am currently taking lessons with Jason to overcome my aqua phobia after many years of avoiding swimming. I’ve tried many times to learn in the past but nobody addressed fear of water.
I am really enjoying my lessons and can’t thank Jason enough for his encouragement and patience. I’m learning at my own pace and he is so supportive. I’m now enjoying being in the water and I’m loving discovering something new about myself and my fears. I encourage anyone to contact Jason as he’s an amazing coach.
