Beat Your Demons – Mindset & Transition from Pool to Open Water

Transform Fear into Freedom – manage stress and anxiety triggers when you make the transition from pool to open water

The transition from pool to open water can feel overwhelming. Thoughts race:

u

“Will I be good enough?”

u
“What if I can’t do it?”
u
“What if others think I look silly?””
u
“What lies beneath?”
u
“I fear the vast open space – there are no walls to stop, turn and push off’
If any of these feel familiar, you’re not alone. These “inner demons” are common, but they don’t have to control you.

Beat Your Demons is a unique 1-to-1 coaching experience that blends open water swim coaching with powerful mindset techniques. As a certified Open Water Swim Coach, Open Water Safety qualified, and trained in mindset transformation tools including NLP, Creating Your Future Coaching Techniques®, Havening Techniques®, HeartMath®, and Breathwork, I’ll help you build both the skills and the resilience to move past fear — in the open water and in life
