Thaddeus splashing fun

Brought Ted for a swimming trial at Harbour Front on Thursday....That's daddy off day...Had heard about this kind of infant swimming program early this year...But was reluctant to bring Ted to try when he's younger....However, saw one of our forum mummy, posted up how her daughter enjoyed the swim recently....Gave me an urge to let Ted takes up this new hobby...

It is said that early swimming will develop baby's brain because the brain grows by use....An ideal way to develop not only a stronger body, but a better brain when baby move in the water...Other benefits include family bonding, when parents or siblings were there to encourage baby, building self-esteem, while stimulating muscle development and brain activity.....All in all, a fun way to explore and learn...

Initially, Ted was too stunned to splash, he was just floating freely and lifts up his legs occasionally....He rested for a while after milk and continued the second time, that he started to splash with his hands and was kicking happily...Its really a good form of exercise to promote blood circulation and brain function...

Daddy was convinced by the happy look of his son, to get the portable pool that we can use at home everyday.....Wanting to try it out soon, but Ted nose is runny due to teething...... probably, will have to wait till later...Lets hope that mummy can make it a point to train Ted in this surviving skill daily.....You may now be looking at the earliest training of a future Olympic gold medalist, or probably the next Micheal Phelps!!!!! Wahahahaha *dreaming*
