About Institute of Aquaphobia

We train Aquaphobia Coaches through our Aquaphobia Learning Programme (ALP) who are now helping to teach many aquaphobic, weak or non-swimmers overcome their fear of water. The ALP is a specialist swimming teaching programme that has been designed to help people on a multi-cultural & inclusive basis who have an inherent fear of the water. The 12-step progressive programme focusses on eliminating and desensitising fear in a safe and sensitive way, with the physical mechanics of teaching swimming skills being secondary. By going through the ALP’s 12 steps, the goal is to teach a participant how to relax, float, feel happy. The stepped-programme breaks down the many barriers to participation so that individuals with a fear can start enjoying the numerous benefits that being in water brings. Part of the coach training is the Certificate in Teaching Aquaphobics (CTA), which has been developed with the support of a main national operator, and top industry and academic professionals from the UK and Germany.
