Schwimming!

We had a 50% off voucher for some baby swimming thing, so we thought we'd go check it out. That, and my aunty was really excited about letting Asher try it.

Each baby gets an individual tub and they've a float that wraps around the neck. Some people apparently bring their kids there every week! Some babies can even swim 45mins non-stop. As it was Asher's first time, the staff there said he'd probably last about 15-20 mins.










He seemed to enjoy floating around. I say floating around, cos he didn't do much kicking initially haha. It was quite funny to see him float and drag his arms about cos he also didn't move his arms very much either :) It was only after he warmed up that he kicked more and used more of his arms.

He managed to last 15 mins! I do think he might have lasted a little longer if the staff had put on the float correctly the first time. They had to interrupt his swimming and take him out to reposition the float. After that when they put him back into the tub he was more fussy.

Actually one of the funniest things is to see all the spectators ooh-ing and aah-ing at Asher as he swam :) He went there with an entourage of 6!












Anyway, not sure if we'll be bringing back again cos it's not that cheap without the discount. We'll see how it goes. I'm actually looking forward more to bringing him to a real swimming pool! But that probably won't be for many months more.
