Level 1: Nereus 18+s (Beginner Level / Adults with no previous swimming experience)

Nereus was the firstborn of Pontus, the Sea, and Gaea, the Earth, and the father of the Nereids. Depicted as bearded, wielding a staff and swathed in long robes, Nereus is a merman god with the coiling, scaly tail of a fish.

Nereus, like water, is a master shape-swifter who may be called upon to deliver a prophecy and changes his shape to adapt to any environment, ward off a threat, or evade a precarious situation. Nereus may even re-render himself in the shape of a sea creature or monster, but he is patently described as trustworthy, gentle and righteous. These qualities make Nereus a symbol of the benevolent aspects of the sea world, in contrast to the majority of ancient Greek gods, whose temperament fluctuates between good and evil!  

We want you to acclimatize to water as though it were still ruled by Nereus, and come to regard it as an element that holds neither fear nor threat once basic safety rules have been grasped and you are able to comfortably perform movement in water. Everyone should learn to love swimming and reap its many benefits for the body and soul!

To help you on your way to becoming a competent swimmer, Nereus 18+s is a water-acclimation course that teaches you the following:

• Water safety
• Water familiarization
• Floating
• Torpedoes

 

Level 2: Poseidon 18+s (Intermediate adult swimmers) 

Poseidon was the second son of the Titans Kronus and Rhea. One of the twelve Olympian gods, Poseidon is the god of the sea but he is additionally mentioned as an earth-shaker because of his role in causing earthquakes. 

Greek art offers many representations of Poseidon riding a chariot that is pulled by a hippocampus or by horses striding the waves. Usually depicted as a bearded mature man bearing a trident, Poseidon is the father of many mythical monsters and heroes, among them the legendary Theseus.

Our Poseidon 18+s is an intermediate level for adults who have prior swimming lesson experience and want to further develop their technique and skills.  Call us to schedule your lesson and enhance your abilities as a swimmer today!
