We figured great progress in the pool came about from a combination of a few events:-
1) Moving to Fort Road and having a pool again :)
2) With living on higher grounds (14th floor), K observed how people looked while swimming from an aerial view
3) He'll monitor the pool activities daily, he'll sit at the bay window ledge (btw, we have restricted the window openings) and exclaim - "Oh nobody swimming today", or "Oh, got (some) body swimming!"
4) He'll practice his strokes indoors with legs hanging on the bay window ledge and upper body and arms on the bed, tummy hanging in mid air.
5) Teacher Maria taught the kids an imaginative song in music class where first part of the song was to row a boat to an island. When the music stops, she'll ask them "Are you there yet?" and the kids will reply "No, not yet" and then the music starts again and this time they imagine sailing amongst dolphins. At the next stop, she'll ask them again, " Are you at the island yet?" and they will reply "YES!".
6) K loves his new wet suit!
7) Last Sunday, K was his usual - changed into his wetsuit in a jifty when Daddy asked if he would like to swim. We went down to the pool with some keropok and donut float in hand. K loves playing at the pool however, never swam the distance independently till of late. Mummy still with music class hangover, sang to him the "SONG" and encouraged him to swim to the island and *TADAH* there you have it! A swim champ!
Thank you Teacher Maria!
