Special classes to overcome the fear of water in Ibiza
Fear has no age, and that is why we offer these classes for all ages. From a baby, a toddler, young people, adults or seniors.
The fear of water can be overcome with a pedagogy adapted to each age group, based, for us, on the confidence and security that we must provide to each person so that they can relax and learn in a positive way to overcome their fear.
Fear of the aquatic environment in children may be due to several causes, either because of physical insecurity, because the child mentally anticipates the harm he or she may suffer; or in other cases, the fear arises from psychological threats that may come from the fears that adults project onto children from some negative experience in the water (hydrophobic education), or from inadequate pedagogical practice when they begin to learn to swim. The latter two causes are the most frequent in the case of children.
However, in adults and older people, fear is mainly due to fear arising from psychological threats that may come from a negative experience in the water such as the onset of drowning or a provoked submersion. Sometimes it is also caused by fear of failure, fear of being negatively evaluated, fear of social ridicule or fear of competition. And in the case of older people, a fear of the unknown, because for them, when they were young, swimming was not an activity available to everyone and few people learned to swim, or if they did, it was self-taught in rivers or on beaches.
In order for them to overcome these fears, it is clear to us that it is essential:
- Progressive adaptation
- To provide the person with maximum security and confidence, so that he/she can relax and learn to overcome fear positively.
- We never force you, we adapt to the pace of each person, so that learning and improvement is safe and positive.
- For children, water should be a game, so that it becomes something positive and pleasurable.
