A 2-part series
Water Sports
Swimming, surfing, and getting comfortable in the water. Beginner-friendly, panic-free.
Water sports are intimidating if you did not grow up doing them. The ocean is big, pools are deeper than they look, and nobody wants to be the adult who cannot swim. We get it. These guides start from absolute zero and build up. No assumptions about what you already know. Just clear, step-by-step instructions for getting comfortable and competent in the water.
What you'll learn
- ✓ How to swim from your first float to full laps
- ✓ How to surf from paddling out to riding your first wave
How to Swim
Go from standing in the shallow end to floating on your back, kicking, breathing to the side, and swimming your first 25 yards without stopping.
How to Surf
Surf your first day as a complete beginner. Practice the pop-up on the sand, read where waves break, paddle out, and ride whitewash to shore on a soft-top board.
