First Swimming Lesson

Yes, Samson first swimming lesson was on sunday, 13 July 08. Although the appointment was 11am, because he woke up late that day, we reached at 12noon. We feed him and let him rested for 30 minutes before we let him have his first trial lesson.

We strip him naked and put the float around his neck. The lousy attendant took a small float and tried to force it around his neck! Samson protested in cry and I think he was a little nervous after that. When we eventually put him into the tub, he was really nervious. His two tiny hands hold on tightly to each other and look at me helplessly and not kicking at all. Little did I realised that he was so tall that he was actually standing in the tub, no wonder he did not kick. Thankfully Michael was observants enough to point out that mistake and the attendant added more water into the tub. Then he kicks a little. I keep reassuring him that daddy and mummy is around and he will be safe. Slowly he let goes his hand and started to swim a little.

He adept quickly and started to kick and peddle. He could even float on water if not for the fact that the tub is too small in circumference for him. He enjoyed the swim and started to smile happily. And Michael is convinced that we should let Samson continue his swimming lesson.

He was in the tub for about 20 minutes. After that the attendant did a body massage for him and he giggles happily. I am sure he enjoys it. We feed him a little more milk and he quickly doze off.

I, of coursed, signed him up for another 4 lessons. :)
