Lesson Breakdown
Our OCC is structured to provide a comprehensive and personalised experience. During the sessions, you'll venture on a journey of self-discovery and skill development under the guidance of our experienced trainer, Dom. The course typically unfolds in two detailed phases:
In the first phase, we conduct a personalised assessment of your concerns and goals, laying the foundation for a tailored learning path. Through in-depth discussions and practical exercises, we identify both internal and external triggers affecting your confidence in the water. This phase is crucial for understanding your unique challenges and designing an effective fear-extinguishing plan.
