I will never forget what my swimming instructor taught me as a new adult swimmer. He began his evaluation with these questions. Have you ever been taught to swim before? Are you afraid of the water? The answer to the 2nd question was yes. I was very afraid. He responded confidently, no problem, it is simply a matter of acclamation. His statement confused me. Acclamation, what did that have to do with this. He then proceeded, to convince me to splash my feet, my legs and my torso, next he had me get into the water up to my waist, once I was comfortable He encouraged me to splash my face and finally holding my nose, he got me to put my face into the water. To sum it up he got me swimming in one day. This had a profound effect on me and my training methods. I realized that everybody no matter the endeavor does much better with a process of acclamation. The Tai Chi five program will begin your process of acclamation with these fundamental steps.
