Swimming @ RPGC

I have wanted to start Eugene on swimming some months ago, but it was because we do not want to bringing him to the public pool due to hygiene issues especially with scary diseases, ie H1N1, HFMD and etc.

Finally, Hubby passes me the RPGC membership card last week where the club located at Tiger lane, Ipoh. I like the new management of the club, they control the facilities with 'No Card No Service' term means that outsiders are strictly not allowed to use the sports facilities without their membership cards.

We decided to bring Eugene have his swimming in the club last weekend. He was very excited about it. He cant wait to get into the wading pool and keep shouting there: "swimming oh, swimming oh, Eugene want swimming oh!". Mummy asked him to wait as I need to change him into swimsuit.

The height of wading pool is 0.6 feets. The water level is just perfect up to Eugene's shoulder when he is standing straight in the pool. Daddy is holding him to walk around the pool.

Eugene 1, 2, 3 Jump! Eugene was laughing and having fun during this whole swimming section.

The 'dog paddle' style. He was really have fun.

Eugene swims "freestlye". Daddy holds him lying on his stomach in the water. Eugene was waving his hands and kicking his legs to make a move forward. See the picture Eugene has his own techniques and potential to became a swimmer! kekeke....

Eugene also swims "backstroke". He lays back as opposed his stomach in the water and enjoying floating on the water.

Probably I will need to check out whether the club here have swim coach because I am planning to enroll Eugene in swim lessons. I want him to grow up comfortable with water, but also with a deep respect for it and the knowledge of swimming.
