So thats why when my wife is overseas

 

people don't like to stand too close to me on the mrt.

 

:D

 

Like that good. Don't like people to keep invade my personal space on the MRT, especially if the train empty, still stand so close. [:(]

throw a baby into a pool also must pay so much!! [shakehead] [shakehead]

 

Depends on how u look at it la, they are professionals, they teach u the correct thing and things to look out for in case of emergency. Anything happen they are also liable which means they will put 100% effort into not anyhow teach.

yep, I Think there's a video being shared around in FB, for those toddler that drop into the pool and they are able to turn and float, with full clothings, waiting to be rescue, the toddler damn calm, no crying or struggling... I think it's the max 2 yr old.

My boy started his swim lessons when he was 7 month old. He just turned 4 yo yesterday.

 

Do note that for toddlers, they are still not ready to master swimming strokes. Their core muscles and coordination are not there ye. That explains why most swimming coaches said they are "too young" to get started.

 

When my boy first started, the aim was to instill water confidence ie: to be comfortable with water being poured over his head, to learn how to hold on to the side wall etc. Slowly, he progress to immersing his head underwater, holding his breathe. When he was around 3, he started to learn how to kick and use his arms. But still not ready to master proper strokes. So now is more like dog paddle.

 

But at least, he's not afraid of water and is equally aware of the dangers involved.

Agree. It is not about swimming with the correct strokes, but more to instill water confidence, etc..

yes it is all about water confidence ... my 2.5yrs chiong when he see swimming pool or when he see water slide ..also chiong up and he dare to jump into the water ... of course we are in the water to catch him .. ... he dare to blow bubbles in the water too ...

 

as for the strokes... guess we can wait til 3-4 years old or when they take or understand instructions

Do note that water confidence is good

 

but water over confidence is not

 

for a child who does not have water survival skills yet

 

-_-

think can start training water confidence at 4. Then at about 5, can start learning to swim. You realise that if they are not afraid of water (head can go in, blow bubbles etc), they can straight away start lesson proper. If not, they will take about 4or more lessons just to be comfortable.
