A Fun Day at Swimming Class

     Today is the last day of the swimming class of Amaya and her classmates. The teachers had a fun day of just having a contest among their students. They were grouped into 4 with 3 students each. All of the lessons they have learned in the past quarter were used. Here are some of the photos of the class.

The kids are being grouped 

into 4 members

This is my Amaya, instead of using

the kick board, she just clinged

to the neck of the teacher and kicked

her way to the other end. Hahaha!

The teachers let the kids use

the NOODLE, so that they

could kick and paddle

Amaya doing the bubbles... Instead of

putting her whole face down the

water, she is just LITERALLY 

doing bubbles on top of the water.

Hahaha!

The whole class with teachers from
Bert Lozada Swimming School

     To the ever reliable swimming teachers from the Bert Lozada Swimming School, on behalf of all the mothers of the students, our heartfelt THANK YOU for all of your patience, understanding, and love you have given to our kids. We know that it is difficult to teach these kids but it paid off. Until next year. See you again.

Leaning How To Swim

When I enrolled Amaya at SilverCrest, swimming is part of the curriculum. I got so excited upon learning this because at least she could learn the basics of swimming. The bathing suit, with cap, is bought at the school. So last Thursday, it was the 1st day of their swimming class. So being a mother, stage mother that I was, I brought with me my ever reliable digicam and took pictures. The start of their class is from 9:00 to 10:00am, though the water is really cold, there is nothing we, the parents could do, because it is the schedule given by the school. So let's start:

The pool, it is said to be that this

is the standard size of

a pool especially made for competing.

the kids listening attentively

to the teacher, she is basically

teaching these kids of the

do's and don'ts while

in the pool.

There is my Amaya, the one

with the green kickboard

So the kids were sitting

on the edge listening to their teacher

the teachers are teaching

the kids the proper way of

going into the pool. And

there is my Amaya, she

doesn't like to do it.

And she cried. She really hates

cold water and is not really

a fan of swimming pool.

Hahaha!

And after 30 minutes of being

talked to by the teacher,

she is back on the edge of

the pool. That is just what she

wants to do, sit. hahaha!
