If I can't stay afloat vertically, it would be a problem so I still need to practice.<br /><br /><br /><br />Tips, I'm not sure I could give much. I'm still sinking hehehe. But I think you should enrol and then tell your instructor that it's to comply with FA requirements. I would suggest a one on one lesson but that could probably be costly. If it's a small group, I suppose it would be okay. The instructor could still focus on each individual's progress. Now aside from your lessons, I suggest you do practice swims. And practice regularly too. That way, you could improve and become a stronger swimmer.Aileen_Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1546760266322255449.post-65757865213700489332015-05-06T06:28:06.884+08:002015-05-06T06:28:06.884+08:00Hi there I guess you finished ur lessons na by thi...Hi there I guess you finished ur lessons na by this time hehe tips naman po kasi im planning to so the same pero because im going to apply as an FA kasi...Charlene Angelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1546760266322255449.post-42590374669777496392014-01-14T15:22:33.435+08:002014-01-14T15:22:33.435+08:00This January?

I'm 24 already and learning how to swim has been in my bucket list for years. But I'm really determined to accomplish it this January.

Swimming is one of my favorite things to do in life and I credit not swimming as much as I did as a kid to why I have grown as obese as I am today. Well surely one of the reasons. I didn't take lessons, only my dad taught me the basics. But I hope to go back to swimming regularly as my workout because I can't go running like you until I lose a significant weight. hehe. :)Verahttp://verabear.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1546760266322255449.post-25271078419064082812013-04-30T18:18:49.473+08:002013-04-30T18:18:49.473+08:00Mini-post ba haha.

I spent christmas and holy week vacays kasi in my dad's place at Santiago, Ilocos Sur. I think I told you about that in an e-mail before :). They have this beautiful inlet called Santiago Cove (parang Blue Lagoon. walang malakas na alon and the water is so clear) where I learned to swim. My kids naman, the two girls were part of a swim group called Mako sharks three years ago. Yung cousin nila ended up competing nationally pero sila, my girls, hindi matiis ang swimming pool sa Athletic Bowl dun sa Burnham Park (not the lake ha hehe)-unheated ba naman and I also told them somebody drowned and died there when it was being built hehe. (oops sorry-super long na naman). Congrats sis!
