Aquaphobia Learning Programme (ALP)
A fear of water can affect anyone at any age
Aquaphobia can happen to anyone at any age, it is not a reflection on strength of character, personality or intelligence. Often having a devastating and negative effect on an individual’s life, family and friends. The longer this phobia goes untreated the more entrenched it may become.
Aquaphobia can have a very real impact on a person’s quality of life, sometimes cripplingly so. They miss out on opportunities and experiences that can leave an individual feeling isolated, embarrassed, or frightened and may cause them to experience social exclusion.
Now, with ALP, there is a industry accredited solution.
The best thing about ALP is that it works within the operators normal programmed schedules without the need to create any additional slots.
This is an untapped market for Aquaphobia coaches

Meeting each one in the reception to hear their own stories, how and why, they became Aquaphobic. AC’s will be directed to the café to undertake an induction using the (ALP) tool kit.

About ALP
The Aquaphobia Learning Programme (ALP) is a 12-stage step approach to support those with a fear of water, providing them with the confidence, skills and techniques to enjoy the unique freedom that being in water can give.
Distinctive from swimming programmes, ALP focuses on eliminating and desensitising fear, with the physical mechanics of swimming being secondary. The aim of the programme is to teach a participant how to relax, float, feel happy and in control in the water and reduce all stresses in a safe and careful way.
