New Hobby – Swimming

Thursday Feb 4, 2010

I would like to be as active as possible, so even though I have to juggle blogging, my day jobs, and looking after Yz, I make it a point to run jog in the treadmill 2 times a week and do my breathing exercises in the water.

the condo pool

I thought I was claustrophobic, but I already have conquered the fear of having something clustered around my neck. I was scared of the water (not that I’m hydrophobic) but the feeling of shortness of breath when you go under or even if I’m standing upright and the water is up on my neck.

Aside from that, I have to show Yzabella not to be afraid in the water cuz she had a recent accident when the Granny left her swimming under water and the life guard had to pull her out. From that day on, Yz was scared to go the pool. Her phobia was wiped out when her Daddy brought her one day to the pool (not to mention us being there almost everyday) and there were kids swimming. From that day on, Yz and I hit the pool in the afternoon when I have time.

I’m considering of taking a swimming lesson with the lifeguard but Mike said I could learn to swim by myself. He’s not being frugal, but he thinks everything can be self-taught. He said I can just watch some swimming tutorials in youtube and save the money. Besides I’ve just found some best cd rates, (certificate of deposits) more like a time deposit. Duh? As if the meager Php3,500 would be enough keeping. Better spend it. wahaha! joke!

pareho tayo, di marunong mag swim. it’s best if you know how to swim para naman ganahan rin matuto si yz. glad to know that she is no longer afraid of the water after the incident.. mahirap pa naman alisin sa mga bata ang phobia.

Heheheh dapat talaga mag swimming lesson ka para magka confidence ka tsaka malaman mo kung ano dapat gawin sa tubig. Marami ka talaga matutunan sa instructor – di pwede dto you tube videos LOL!

Baka naman seselos lang Mike pag tinuruan ka ng guylet? :P (joke lang Mike)
