Bert Lozada Swim Lesson with my Kids

When I was in grade school, I never knew how to swim and just pretended that I can and learned by myself during our field trip, which I know is not enough to just learn how to float and stay in place. So, in high school I had a formal swim lesson and sad to say it was not enough for just one summer class, 'cause when I entered college I tried out for the competition and didn't get to join the actual event due to lack of confidence and training.

Now that I'm a mom I really want my children to learn how to swim not to compete, but for healthy lifestyle and because Filipinos love to go on outing, it's very important for them to know how to swim and be confident on their own. In the future, if they want to pursue the sports, I will support them 100 percent!

I am so grateful that we had a chance to be part of the moms and kids "Learn How to Swim" in Bert Lozada's Swim School which took place at the Ace Water Spa in Pasig City last June 13, 2019. I may know how to swim but I still lack confidence and my swim strokes are not good anymore. So, I'm sharing here our great experience with Bert Lozada Swim School and their best trainers.

Before dipping we did our warm ups and grouped according to age. My kids are in good hands, so I joined other moms and titas' swim lesson. It was a good experience going back to basics since it's been years since I practiced swimming. The trainers are excellent in addressing our needs and concerns in swimming. My kids were not even scared, instead I saw them having fun with their groups. We're all satisfied and happy with our experience and decided to have my kids continue with the swim lesson program.
