On baby swimming. First things first, teaching a baby how to swim is wayyyy different than teaching children and adults. The facilities also differ. Because I wanted to expose Sofia more on swimming, when I saw that Hi-5 House of Learning  in Damansara will be conducting a workshop, I immediately signed up. And to make it more fun, I invited two other friends to join. My two friends back in uni. Lifeguard friends.  The  'How to teach your baby to swim' workshop was conducted on 28th August 2017. It consisted of a 30 minutes talk and a 30 minutes session in the pool. Pool session involved one parent per child.  The 30 minutes talk was very useful and I, despite being a swimming instructor myself, learned a lot of new things. The talk was given by Erika Peres, the owner/ founder of EPS Academy. She has a qualification in Children's Physical Development. We were briefed on the do's and don'ts, and also some exercises (in the water) to do with your baby. ...

"Sofia! I heard a lot about you! Your coach told me you did all the exercises during the previous class!" Letting Sofia splash about in this small pool... She seemed happy and excited, nonetheless. During our second visit, the lesson had to be cancelled as the swimming pool was too dirty. They also didn't heat up the pool in advance. Cold and dirty pool, not good for babies. Luckily they have this small pool available.
