Just got inspired with what my Papa commented when I updated my status in FB regardig Sam's swimming lessons :)
After three weeks, I have seen great progress in our baby girl's swimming skills. Aside from the fact that the water this week is much, much, warmer as compared to the first 2 weeks, Sam now doesn't show any signs of fear when we're in the water. She is slowly adapting to the routine of the class and getting familiar with the songs we sing during class.
Today as well, I finally had the courage to submerge her in the pool and to let go of her so she can swim towards her teacher! She can now kick better and can swim a bit towards her teacher without me holding her :)
She was dead tired at the end of the session but when she woke up she was still in a good mood :) getting more talkative by the day, yipee!
i'm actually loving this :) her swimming lessons are great stimulants for learning and physical development and we get to bond as well :) not to mentional skills like developing trust and self confidence for her part :)
learning how to swim is not only learning the sport. it's a life-saving skill as well. and when i say swim, it's not merely getting wet, splashing and playing in the water -- like what i do ;)
