WATERGROMS
BREATH CONTROL AND
OCEAN CONFIDENCE FOR KIDS
AGES 9-13
The Watergroms Breath Control and Ocean Confidence Course is a one-day course that teaches basic freediving and breath control techniques that will increase comfort and confidence in the water. We also cover basic, everyday breathing techniques that help manage stress, increase athletic performance and improve life in general.
During a dryland and a pool session, your grom will learn skills that will keep them safer in the water, increase underwater efficiency, how to handle hold downs, and will practice relaxing during intimidating situations.
For groms as young as 5, and for parents who would like to take the course with their child, we have the Parent/Grom course. This is the same basic course as our other courses, with a few changes to accommodate all ages (as well as kids who might be a little bit nervous), and is a great family activity.

DURING THIS COURSE, YOUR GROM WILL…
learn freediving basics
We start the course with an introduction to basic freediving techniques. By learning how each individuals body responds to a breath hold, your grom will be better prepared to handle breath holds in less predictable, more intimidating situations.
practice basic rescue techniques
The Ocean can be unpredictable. By learning basic rescue techniques, your child will gain confidence in knowing what to do if something happens to go wrong.
experience real life scenarios
Now that your child has learned techniques to help maximize their breath hold, the next step is to put those techniques to by simulating real world scenarios including: unexpected breath holds, staying calm and relaxed in intimidating situations, leash releases and more.
