Where & When To Find Us

The CalmWater Collective meets every Saturday at 9:00 AM at Gigglin’ Marlin Dive and Swim, located at:

4502 Almeda Rd., Houston, TX 77004

Our regular Saturday sessions focus on developing water competence for adults and young adults ages 16+. Younger teens and children may participate with a parent in the water, with instructor approval.

Participants should bring:

• Swimwear

• Water to drink

• A towel

• Goggles (if you have them)

Fins are optional but not required. We have loaner goggles, nose plugs, and ear plugs available for first-time participants.

During class, participants will work with a lifeguard-certified instructor to develop and build foundational water skills such as swimming technique, floating, treading, breath control, and calm submersion.

More advanced participants will build on their existing abilities through games, drills, and skill-based activities.

Each class concludes with an opportunity to apply newly learned skills in progressively challenging ways using the CalmWater Method.

What to Expect at Your First CalmWater Class

A Welcoming Environment
Whether you are new to deep water or already comfortable in the pool, our sessions are designed to meet you where you are and help you progress at your own pace.

Skill-Based Training
Each session focuses on a core water skill such as floating, breath control, calm submersion, or treading water. Participants learn the skill step-by-step through guided drills and exercises.

Progressive Challenges
Once the skill is introduced, participants will have an opportunity to apply it through games, drills, and short challenges designed to build confidence and competence in the water.

Breath Work and Recovery
Classes conclude with guided breathing exercises designed to help you relax, regulate your breathing, and leave the water feeling calm and refreshed.
