Return of the AquaBub

As the Bub was sick last week, we were unable to bring him to his weekly swim lessons. However, it is clear that he really missed splashing around in the pool as he woke up super-duper early on Saturday morning, reminding us that it is time for us to bring him to the pool once more.

With the early wake-up call from the Bub, we were able to have an early breakfast at the nearby hawker centre.  The food was really good and the Bub managed to gobble down an absurd mixture of bread, porgy, and my vegetarian noodles to fuel him up for his pending exertions.

 

By the time we were done with breakfast, we realised that we still had about 45 mins before his lesson starts. So we swiftly got changed and headed straight for the pool and started mucking around and test out the new arm floats that we got for the Bub from Toy”r”us for only $9.99! You can check out the link to the product here. Let us know if you would like us to do a product review of this float and perhaps I can do a short and quick review of it in the near future!

 

 

We quickly realised that the Bub is very comfortable with floating around in his new arm floats and he was able to keep his body upright with ease. So I allowed him to paddle around the shallow pool to build his confidence with his new swim gear. I wanted him to build the courage to jump straight into the pool but he was too careful and cautious to do so. Instead, he focused on swimming around aimlessly like a cute little duckling in the water.

He enthusiastically went for his swim lessons and his instructor said that the Bub is progressing well and is exceeding his expectations so far. I’m pleased that the instructor is reassuring me with the progress of my child and it is great to see the Bub having a great time during the class.

 

After his classes ended, we stayed around and continued playing in the water for another 45 mins before Mama Lim expressed her extreme hunger and we had to wash up and head for lunch before Mama Lim fainted by the poolside.

By the time we were done with lunch, we were all throroughly exhausted, but not as badly worn out as the Bub as he passed out on the way home while we were still in the taxi. 😛

We hope you had as much fun reading what we did the other day and we hope that you’ll come back for more!
