Lessons are taught in a residential home pool that is very nice. I park on the street and walk through the side yard to the screened in pool where Brian is usually waiting for our lesson. Sometimes we get there early and he is wrapping up a lesson with the previous student in the pool. There is plenty of patio seating so you can relax while your child is learning. He always is very positive and encouraging with your child and I loved the way he taught my son. Within one lesson he had learned what we came there to learn. My son knew how to swim but I wanted him to be a stronger and more capable swimmer so when we go out on our boat and snorkel, we do not have to worry about his abilities. He had my son overcome his fears and by the time we went snorkeling in the keys a few weeks later, my son was jumping off the boat into the water. My son chose to continue with lessons despite learning what he needed to and Brian taught him so much more! It was amazing and I loved going every week. He is great with kids and an amazing swim instructor. Highly recommend this swim school!

    All I can say is "WOW"! I wish I would have known about Melon and Miracle Swimming a long time ago…read morebut the universe works on it's own time. I am going to be 66 very shortly and this was my birthday gift to myself. 60 of those years were spent taking lesson after lesson with no success. Nobody targeted my fear, I never felt SAFE! From start to finish, Melon stressed to listen to our bodies, go at our own pace. If you feel unsafe or nervous "come home to your body". She allowed us to move as fast or as slow as we wanted, we were in control. She encouraged play and lots of it. When we play, we are relaxed, discovering how our bodies move in the water and how the water will naturally bring you to the surface if you allow it. Also, she encouraged us to move slowly, don't rush anything. I played and played and played some more, slowly gaining confidence and comfort in the water. I released all inhibitions and felt like a little kid again. Melon said when you're in control, the skill will come naturally. Boy, was she right! I listened to everything she said, did everything she said, and if I wasn't comfortable doing a certain thing and felt out of my body, I took a step back, returning to my body until I was 100% comfortable and ready to move on. By day 2 I was treading in the shallow end, by day 5 I was in 12 ft. doing cannonballs and swimming, unassisted, un-tethered and felt a joy, satisfaction and pride I haven't felt in a long time. I always felt safe, comfortable and heard. I never felt pressured to do anything. I finally let go and fell in love with the water! If you are fearful of water, the deep end, not being able to touch the bottom or just want to feel 100% comfortable in the water, take this course!! There is no judgement as we are all there for the same reason. We want to be heard, seen, understood and to feel safe without the pressure of what is "expected". Come as you are and trust Melon. She will guide you to success!!!

    Miracle Swimming offers great swim lessons for adults!…read more If you have had a hard time learning to swim for any reason and you're an adult, this is the swim class for you. Some of the students are very afraid of water and some not so much. The class size is small allowing for lots of time with the instructor and lots of practice time. The teachers are super experienced and very patient as well as super nice. The Berkeley pool is WARM! You won't freeze in there - perfect for beginning swimming. The Berkeley classes come with practice sessions for the 8 weeks following class, so you can practice in a nice, warm pool with other students. I have taken 3 of their courses, and I very much recommend them! I took the Beginning and Next Step classes in Berkeley with Richard (a great teacher!) and Ocean 101 in Sarasota, FL with Melon (founder of this school). Sarasota has the #1 beach in the US - look it up! Miracle Swimming has classes all over the country. IT'S TOTALLY GREAT! I had the best time and it was well worth the money to me. If you are at all interested, don't be shy about contacting Miracle Swimming with your questions or maybe buy their book first.
