Kids' First Day at the Milo Swimming Clinic

My kids woke up early this morning, probably because of too much excitement...it's going to be their first day of their swimming lessons. They hurriedly had their breakfast, wore their swimming get-ups, including their gears like goggles & swimming caps (though they both didn't like to use the tight caps, especially Angelica who complained that it's hurting her head & it felt so warm)and put on a dollop of sunscreen creams. Then at 7:30 AM, we were off to the resort where the Milo Swimming Clinic is being held!

After the registration, the kids all lined up for their warm up exercises for about 15 minutes. Afterwhich, they had their briefing with Coach Ronnel.





The first thing that was taught to them was how to do the leg movements properly. They all sat along the pool side with their legs hanging. Coach Ronnel instructed them to extend their legs together with toes pointing down, then moving each leg alternately up & down splashing into the water. They should do a nice splash.



Then they do the same leg works on a prone position.


Then, each of them was given a kick board so that they could cross the pool one after the other. I think they were beginning to conquer their fear to water. Kakay & Justin were able to cross the pool (on kick boards )using their stong kicks. Keep it up, kids!

They will be training for 2 weeks...I wonder how they are going to look like by then!Their skin were already showing signs of sunburn...they'll be needing tons of sunscreen, perhaps in order to protect their skin to the max! They seem not to care at all...as long as they are enjoying their swimming lessons, that's all they care about!
