    Ibrahim I.

    It was great to say the least!
    Coming from the view point of someone who never swam in water that I couldnt stand in, I was terrified of even swimming into the deep end, even though I knew if push came to shove I could swim the bit needed to reach the edge of the pool or float on my back if needed.
    From there, Marques had me diving into the deep end and swimming back up within the first week!
    As an adult who is learning how to swim, one of the main concerns I had was - When I am in trouble, will this person actually be able to save me?
    With Marques, who has done 50+ IronMans, I felt that safety. Its like having a mental life jacket.
    After my initial 2 weeks of 5 a week lessons (where everyday felt like a milestone), I continue to take lessons from Marques (at a lower frequency) because there is just so much to learn in terms of technique. And I completely trust Marques will get me as far as I want to go.
    If you havent learned how to swim, learning has been one of the most rewarding experiences. If you do end up learning, I highly recommend a master coach like Marques, who can not just push you to your limits when you need it, but can also be encouraging and kind at the same time.
