We
are currently doing swimming lessons for the children at the Morewll
Leisure Centre. It costs an arm and a leg (about $280 for ten weeks), so
we've cut back on breathing
, but I recon its worth it.
Malachi is in the preschool class and is learning balance, propultion, and blowing bubbles. His confidence grows by the lesson, and he is a joy to watch!
Hadassah is still in the infant class, will be till she reches three and a half, so she needs a parent in the water with her, but she is getting better. She just worked out last lesson that she can hold her breath and look under water!! Still has trouble blowing bubbles though. Recons you have to suck the water in and then blow it out (eeuw! eeuw! eeuw!!!!).
Phebe is in the same class as her sister, and at just a year old is the youngest of the group, but she has the time of her life! I'm also impressed, as she understands blowing bubbles, and even spits the water out most times she gets a snoot full!
I just enjoy being in the warm water, but Michael has a lot of trouble as the chlorine interacts badly with his sinus, and at the end of the morning when he comes home he's a write off for the rest of the day. When Hadassah is old enough to do it herself he's gonna stop coming, poot thing.
I get around holding the belly in by wearing this some what mumsy swim suit that has a little skirt on it, and it holds the 'girls' in place too! I'm not up to scratch style wise when I wear it, but hey! Its only once a week, and I look alot better in it that in some other swim suits I've tries!!
