The mission of the Swim for Life Foundation is to enrich the lives of all people by promoting the life-long benefits of swimming, implementing proactive drowning prevention programs and increasing the accessibility of programs for those with special needs, whether the challenge is disability, age or finance related.

Transpersonal Swimming Institute was established in 1983 to provide guaranteed success for adults who are afraid in water who want to learn to swim. Once-terrified adults now become deep water swimmers, divers, and teach TSI courses.

Afraid swimmers are more at risk of panic and drowning than confident swimmers. They must learn panic prevention. The unique perspective acquired by teaching only afraid adults-the majority of Americans-for 25 years gave us an unusual advantage in understanding the learning process of healing fear. From this, universal principles were found. We produced The Miracle Swimmer DVD in 2000. The book, Conquer Your Fear of Water was published in 2006. The principles are applicable to any fear at any age. Through instructor trainings we hope to spread our classes and the principles globally in pursuit of the end of preventable drowning.
