sarah..slow and steady wins the race :)
look at the clear water...by now you can see that she is not that happy..hehe..kesejukan :)
sarah toksah cakaplah...dia jadi tuan direktor. mommy, you don't swim..i will swim to you okay..you stay there..then, let's dive mommy..yeas we do 10 more times okay..( after 5 times..she said okay..i don't want to do this anymore)..then..mommy why don't you carry me ..what?..carry you...alamak...to which i said..no i will not carry you. i want to swim...then tukar tactic pulak...tak nak pakai her life jacket. nak swim just like that..dah kena jaga dia proper..ended up apa tau..we did the dog paddle. she dog paddle to me and i doggy paddle to her...hahahahah. time ni, sean and sarina was wayyyyyyy..over the other side of the rocks. exploring the swimming hole :)

Alamak! isnt that the way to wear the goggles? (garu2 kepala)....to me, i dont like goggles as i find the water can still seep in...boringlah...dahlah on land pakai cerminmata, kat air pon kena pakai goggles eh?....is it safe to swim in the lake...?.maklumlah in s'pore dah used to all the chlorine, clear swimming water....blah...blah...blah...
dah lama i tak pergi swimming pool retro pat tanglin halt...lakes yg sunyi2 cam ni best jugak eh...org lain tak nampak stylo milo kita swimming..olimpik pun malu nak amik kita...ahak!
lawa gambar2 tu rosma..esp yg sarah's head bob on the waterjer cam tu...cute!...i pun pakai cerminmata cam mona..goggles dah tak payah pakai kan kalau cam tu..ke kena pakai helmet..???
:))))))))))
ps:yeynesss ;)
So good to read u again, Rosma! :) Glad that you're feeling lots better. I'm also very happy that you're swimming and stuff - that regular flow of endorphins is really helpful, isn't it :)
Wah, Rosma, you betul2 nye swim these few months! :) the lake's bed ada apa2 tak? u know, like the beaches here, pijak the bottom aje ada treasures - botol, tree branches *hehee* duit and gold bars aje belum pernah jumpa :D nak kena pakai those aquashoes here/malaysia, which helps a lot, but tak boleh paddle2 sangat lah coz the water keeps gushing in and out of the shoe. Feels a bit weird.
What pretty goggles the girls have! *hehee* And they all look like they're having fun! And very brave girls too! Boleh jump in lah, dive lah :) Hahahaa @ belly flop!!! :D Budak2 nie memang pandai komen!! Takper, skejap lagi u keep this up, boleh be as good as them ;)
About the tercungap2 *hehee* breathing takes a bit of practice lah :D I dunno what the instructor there may have taught the girls, but if you don't mind a tip that helped me a lot, what I do is when my head is underwater I exhale thru my nose [or mouth pun boleh but i prefer nose so all the air takde chance nak termasuk and choke me]. When my head's above water, i inhale with my mouth. So when I am doing my strokes, I am breathing without holding my breath for too long - boleh tercungap2 later coz not enough air while the muscles are working. Back when I was in school I used to do that, and I couldn't finish a lap coz I wasn't breathing properly. Nak swim pun nak breathe properly, eh... leceh kan? :D Also if possible, try to keep the splashes to a minimum coz if you're head's out but splashes are all over, some water may get in your mouth and might cause you to cough or choke... Ni pasal pernah terjadi lah... and my cousins' splashes hawaii-five-o pun kalah... that's why when I swim with them, I let them go first, dah jauh baru I go toward them :D They are too excited lah, suka splashing2... :D
mona, sorry menyampok :D there are those corrective lens swim goggles that you can get at most sports stores. I have a pair but I've only used them 3 or 4 times coz they're quite uncomfortable with all the magnified water droplets in my view. I just wear contact lens with regular goggles - nak kena make sure they're tight before going in the water... but usually the contact lens won't come off kalau masuk air. Well, depends on how lucky we are lah :D I also think those goggles with sponge-like rims always leak water in. Best to get a pair of goggles that's made by a reputable company like Speedo or Arena - so far I've tried both, they're good. Just have a problem with fogging, and I am not keen on spitting into my goggles... think I will get one of those anti fog sprays.
u make me wanna jump to that lake!! but but but....I tak tau swim...main-main air aje.... :)
Thanx sweettreats....there is such thing meh?...i know of the speedo brand...my boys used it for their swimming lessons....dont know how effective it is...tapi yang tak best pakai goggles if its too tight nanti tinggal kesan kat muka...macam kungfu panda punya mata....hehehhe.If u know of any brand yang ada wiper lagik best....
Si snortsnooty ni sapa eh?...Sriberry eh?...Dia punya citer macam kenal jer...tapi di mana ya...?
mona..she wore her goggles with the strap around her neck..hehe..sebab tu muka macam fu manchu :) the girls didn't seem to mind, but i tak pakai lah...i just wore my glasses :) oh yes..but depends on certain lakes. some lakes that has too much algea, could be contaminated with this deadly amoeba, but this one is clean and clear :)we've been going to this one for years already.
sri..alah samalah macam i..swimming free style betul2 nyer free..main hentam sajerlah..hahahahaha. you nak pakai helmet?..hahahahaha...boleh2 protect our hair eh..macam those olimpik swimmers..kasi lebig laju kagi swimming..or more like running in the water...hahahhaa.
sweets..oh yes..definitely. especially after a tough workout :) this lake nyer bed is sandy. there are areas or in other arms of the lake where it is a bit rocky. but kalau you go out further, it will be sandy so fine one :)i also have aqua shoes..only if we swim at those rocky sites lah..hehe. but this place, it is sandy all the way and the best thing is, there's hardly anybody there at all. i know, those goggles were cheap. got them at Big Lots for four bucks each :) that's what sarina told me about breathing..but thing is, my problem kan...is coordination lah..haha. sarina pointed out that when i tried to take in air..i stop kicking and that makes me sink..hahahah....best tak i..send my girls for lessons and then have them teach me..sampai sarah2 pun nak kasi i pointers sehhhh...hahahaha. your cousins sounds like sean...talk about hawaii five-o nyer style..hahahhaa.
mrs beki..alah..kalau dah takder orang tu..apa lagi..just jump in ajerlah..hahaha. macam i..tak tau berenang..eksyen tau..tangan buat strokes, but kaki jalan at the bottom..hahahahahaha.
Just realised the way sarah wore her goggles..boleh lah as long as it still serves as a protective gear for the eyes while swimming..love the colours very bright and loud!Wah macam gini sarina dah boleh qualify jadi swimming instructor lah..i can just imagine her trying to teach mummy a trick or two..but i guess it makes them feel good too knowing they are doing it right able to point out what they have learnt!
have a good week now you guys!
xoxo FrauN xoxo
Kid plus water = happy.
Bestnyer!! Sandy lakes! I think tropical lakes are all... algae kat bawah... is it? I think the only lake I've came close to swimming in [actualy only dipped my feet in] is the one at Langkawi... Dayang Bunting? Didn't dare swim coz my cousin said the gravity pull is a lot stronger. Furthermore, takut ter-bunting after keluar from that lake *hahaha* The coordination part takes time and practice - after a while you'll get used to it insyaallah. :) I've lost my feel for freestyle coz I keep doing breastroke, so kena practice jugak. Happy swimming! :)
mona, u r welcome! hahaha! one of mine also did that, panda rings around my eyes :D terketat sangat sampai biji mata nak terjojol gitu hehehee. those corrective lens goggles, u can get them at mustafa. think the cheapest is around 20something. if u r planning on getting one, make sure you get a pair that is 25 to 50 degrees less than your spectacles' power [kalau tak, underwater u pening lalat nanti coz underwater optics ada lain sikit]. Happy trying! :)
how come i termiss boat about this entry...
the replies by your readers and your own kan Rosma, betul2 bikin i pecah perot!
I adalah ingat u can become my intensive swimming instructor bila balik sini, rupa2 nya... KITA SERUPA. Aksen2 pandai berenang...hahahaha.. sounds too familiar.. :D
I also sent my eldest for swimming lesson when he was about 4yrs old..skrg he can make more than 5 laps without stopping... mummy dia nak buat setengah lap pun belum tahu boleh... unless pakai FLOAT. hehe.
btw, i love the tips given by sweets.... the exhaling and inhaling aspect.... maybe i shud try. I oso have coordination poblem.. bila nak inhale aje kan..kaki kemana, tangan kemana.. :D
