Never too late..

Since December was the holidays season,hubby n me decided to let the gals took up swimming lessons.Well.I decided too,a couple of weeks after them.Well.after coaxing a few friends from the Tai Chi group,we were ready as ready could.
Came one fine Saturday morning,by 7.30 we were there at Pusat Akuatik Shah Alam,complete with the swim gears,goggles n kick boards.Giggling n talking at once,wondering how well we'll do for the first class.
Well.for a start the teacher,a very young one mind you,came in half an hour late n hardly got into the water.There we were with six other woman,trying to blow bubbles and getting comfortable in the water.and yet she was was just not doing her job..with hardly any techniques or tips or advise for that matter n Bang by 9 she out of the water..TaTa TuTu,gotta go now see you all makcik2 tomorrow!
Now,we were all stunt,was this for real or it is just a gimmick for the first class.Well,believe it or not,it when on till the end of the 8 classes n none of us could even float properly.Complaints have been made but of course on deaf ears.Replacement classes have been fix but then where was our teacher?Boy is it so hard to teach us the makcik to swim?How come the other makcik2 n pakcik2 in the other clubs are lapping across the pool.
So now it is back to getting another class..hoping for a private tutor to teach us at our friend's condo..but then she will back from U.K in Feb,so till then we'll just have to practice where we were left off with..the breaststroke kick..if I can remember the techniques.
Still I got my hubby n children to help me..today the gals are having their evaluation to go level 4,the final level..n they have been jumping from the diving board,seem kinda scary at first but the gals seems to enjoy it.Hubby has been doing countless laps at the pool so does Mariam,whenever she is free.
Hopefully by Feb,I am able to learn the proper way n have a whale of a time in the pool with my family n friends and loose weight..insyaAllah.
