Fear is a natural and powerful emotion that serves an important role in keeping us safe as it mobilises us to cope with potential danger, however when this emotion goes out of control it becomes a phobia, which is an extreme or irrational fear aroused by a particular object or circumstance, to the point where it restricts your life.

Jaspreet came to Second Nature Swimming with Aquaphobia, a fear of water, and was suffering from crippling anxiety. Aquaphobia varies in severity from person to person so no swimming lesson will ever be the same for two people who suffer.

Each lesson is tailored to you and your experiences with water, the severity of your phobia and of course, what your ultimate goal is.

Watch the video to find out more about Jaspreets journey with Second Nature Swimming and how she went from Fear to Freedom!
