Both my girls are pretty good swimmers but I feel that they need some pointers to further improve on their strokes, especially breast stroke. This is the perfectionist in me talking, I suppose. For me proper technique is important in order to fully enjoy an activity and to prevent injuries.
I have been on the lookout for suitable advanced swimming lessons for quite some time. Good swimming instructors are so difficult to find. I thought all my problems were solved when I found him, but it was a challenge trying to “squeeze” a slot into my girls’ already jam-packed weekend schedule. Eventually we gave up sleeping in on Sundays for it to happen. David has been so sweet to do it for quite a number Sundays while I sleep in. I finally did my Mommy Duty a few weeks back. I lugged my camera along and had a lot of fun snapping away.
I like how the club management has dedicated lanes for lessons so that the kids are not “disturbed”
Some little ones listening to their instructors
A rare shot of Erica (my elder girl). She tends to either run away or covers her face when I bring out the came. Tweens!!
My ever ready for the camera daughter.

Taking a mini-break
Erica and Arianna have been dying to have a go at this. It has not happened yet. Daddy and mummy have been working very hard, trying to arrive 10 mins before lessons but failed. After lessons? They would be starving by then and dying to go for brunch. Mental note to self – will leave the house 30mins earlier this Sunday, for them to make it for the spin.
That first b/w picture is priceless!! Absolutely love it!
Thanks! Its one of my favourite picture of the girls. Its up on one of my living room walls. I blew it up on canvas to life size.
