My very 1st Swimming Badge

Yesterday, i had my very 1st swimming test and pass my test and got my very 1st swimming badge. there are total of 8 levels, so i need to collect 7 more badges.

mummy had always wanted me to know how to swim, according to mummy, it wasn't easy enrolling me for swimming lesson, mummy called up many swimming instructors to arrange swimming lessons for me, and as usual mummy will always be honest to mention to them abt my physical condition, and once she told them the truth, they will without hesitation and "reject me" =[


be'cos of that it took a long time for me to really start learning swimming, after trying to find a swimming class for me, mummy really is on the verge of giving up in sending me for swimming lesson, cos there's no one who wants to take me in for swimming. so one day she complained to my therapist abt this, so my therapist was very kind she recommended mummy one swimming instructor. according to my therapist this guy that she recommend is so called a specialist in training children with physical conition how to swim. mummy was very delighted and she called him up straight away, but to our disappointment, the swimming lessons by that specialist was very very expensive and it's one teacher to 4 students kind of ratio. mummy just didn't feel the peace to sign up, she finally get God involved in helping to look for a swimming school.


so finally she came across APS (Ang Peng Siong) Swim School. she called them up, told them abt my condition and checked out abt their swimming schedules and fees.......etc. by the Grace of God they allowed me to go for some assesment before putting me in to a suitable class. initially, the assesment didn't go on well, but thank God that He never fails us when we asked of Him to help. So all in all, i finally got in to APS Swim Sch, and that's not abt it, the fees there are quite reasonable (it's much cheaper than the specialist one) and on top of that i get one to one coaching from my instructor =] isn't God great.


even tough i take quite a while to go for the 1st test after learning swimming for a while, and i may not swim so fantasic like my friends, but mummy says it's ok, the important thing is that i can get to learn and know how to swim.



sometimes i not only have one instrutor coaching me but two, hehehehe........am i just too bless =]


see the slide behind me, that's my favourite.



finally, started swimming without any float or help.



that's me during my test



PTL!! pass my test and collecting my 1st badge.
