Why Taking a Shower is Important Before Jumping into the Pool You might be thinking, "Ngano mag shower pa man ko, maligo man gihapon ko sa pool?" Showering helps remove sweat, perfumes, cosmetics, lotions, and other oils from our body before we get into the pool. ... While most swimming pools are well maintained and chlorinated, taking a shower means chlorine won't have to work as hard and more illnesses can be prevented. There is a reason for swimming pool rules and you should follow them. Showering before swimming makes it healthy for everyone swimming in the pool. #DidYouKnow #NowYouKnow #SwimmingLessonsInDavaoCity

Why Taking a Shower After Swimming is Important Taking a shower AFTER swimming in the pool is just as important as showering BEFORE swimming. Showering helps remove any contaminants that your skin came in contact with while you were in the pool. Pools are chlorinated and add to that the bodily oils from people who didn't take a shower before entering the pool. ... The water in the pool can dry your hair and body so clean it with shampoo and soap. #SwimmingFacts #DidYouKnow #NowYouKnow #SwimmingLessonsInDavaoCity

How deep is your DIVE? (Basic Swimming)

Ended the week right. Thank you students!

Did you know? The oldest stroke used is the BREASTSTROKE that dates as far back as the 1st century BCE #DidYouKnow #NowYouKnow #SwimmingFacts

Why is everyone so concerned about being pretty? The media has brainwashed us about the concept of beauty. People hiding behind make ups, photo filters, fancy clothes to impress people we really don't care about. Why not be pretty caring, pretty understanding, pretty knowledgeable, pretty skillful, pretty fearless, pretty courageous, pretty adventurous?... Being pretty on the outside is important to live easily on this planet but not as important as prettifying the mind, the heart, and the soul. Don't JUST be pretty. There is more to life than being pretty. When we get to the old age, what really matters is the relationship we had with the people around us, the size of our heart, the strength of our character, the memories, bond, laughter, experiences and learnings that we had. Think about it. Do we make this world a better place or do we just contribute to the negativity? #JustThoughts #DontJUSTBePretty #SwimmingLessonsInDavaoCity

Thank you Ling! Char naman sa inner dragon. Hahaha.

Thank you Summer! I enjoyed your dive turned flip turn. See you in your next session.

Every expert was once a beginner. Like with all skills in the world, it would take time and dedication to be a "pro" with anything. So don't get upset about sucking at something new. No one expects you to be an expert in the first few swims. Be patient and take the time to be great at anything. See you at the pool!

How to Avoid Drowning Aside from of course learning how to swim, there are ways you can do to avoid drowning. 1. DO NOT raise your hand... It is our intuition to raise our hand as an initial response to drowning. Do not raise your hand to ask for help. Doing so will just put more weight on your body thus making you drown faster. 2. Float If you don't know how to swim, you have to at least know how to do the back float. The human body has a natural ability to float. Do not panic. Relax your body. Float as if you're lying in your bed and then use your hand to come closer to the shallow water. This will also give you time to ask for help. 3. Use a flotation device If you really want to swim in deep water, use floaters. You can use arm bands, lifebuoy (salbabida), life vest or life jacket. It may feel a little uncomfortable but safety should come first. #LigtasAngMayAlam

Elementary Back (Advance Class)

1. Thumb first, pinky first Your thumb exits the water first on recovery. Pinky goes in first at the top of the pull. 2. Keep your head straight... Your head should be in a neutral position, in line with your spine. Fight the urge to look around. Look at the clouds or the ceiling to keep your head straight. 3. Kick from the hip Rolling from side to side provides additional strength. By kicking from your hips, you are using your lats, pecs, and core muscles to power the stroke. 4. Avoid holding your breath Avoid holding your breath as much as possible. Breathe in as one arm passes your ear and breathe out when water is projected in your face during arm recovery. 5. Don't let your hips drop too low This will slow you down. Kick higher flutter kicks to keep your body close to the surface of the water. Keep your body flat. Position your body horizontally in the water.

Just keep swimming!

Why Clothes Made of Cotton is NOT ALLOWED in the Swimming Pool Everyday gina filter ang tubig sa pool before it is open for public use. Clean water is separated from the contaminated water (which is then removed) Cotton is NOT ALLOWED in the Swimming Pool because it has a material that clogs the filtering system of the pool that makes it harder to clean the water. This material is called lint. This is also found in linen and wool. This is the same material na makita nimo sa w...ashing machine kung ga laba ka. Additionally, cotton also absorbs a lot of water which weigh down swimmers and makes it difficult to swim. #SwimmingFacts #DidYouKnow #NowYouKnow #MysteryUnlocked #SwimmingLessonsInDavaoCity

While we were having a conversation with my student on his last session, he shared one thing that really breaks my heart. He said one of the reasons why he wants to learn how to swim is because his father regrets not learning how to swim when he was still young, ngayon hindi niya maenjoy ang beach kasi hindi siya marunong lumangoy. It's heartbreaking to hear the word "regret." Bakit kailangan mag regret kung pwede pa naman? You're never too old to learn something new. ... I get a lot of messages concerning about their age, like: "Pwede po adult?" "hehe baka kasi for children lng ni xa. Gsto ko talaga matuto." "Adult, 37 years old.. Pwede?" "i'm 23 yrs old male, pwedi pa po ba sa edad ko?" "Tumatanggap ba kayo ng adult? Like 30s? " "Mam ok ra ba n 30 y.o nq?" Whoever told you that swimming lesson is just for kids? Do whatever you want to do now! The greatest regret of people are not about what they did but what they didn't do. Will you live your life in regret or take the risk and do it anyway?

Flutter Kick and Sculling with a good old music (Adult Class)

Front Crawl, Teens Class

5 Tips for a better Front Crawl 1. Your fingertips should enter the water first Avoid palm or thumb first water entry. Never show your palm to your destination!... 2. Use a high-elbow position That is less drag and allows for a faster swim. Also, the movement to the catch and pull position should be easier. 3. Kick from the hip Rolling from side to side provides additional strength. By kicking from your hips, you are using your lats, pecs, and core muscles to power the stroke. 4. Look directly at the bottom of the pool Keep your head in line with the rest of your body. This prevents your hips and legs to drop, so you don't have to kick harder to keep your legs up. 5. Breathe out in the water Breathe out while your face is underwater. This allows you to be more relaxed than when holding your breath.

A lot of my students who excel in the swimming lesson has one thing in common-- THEY ARE NOT AFRAID OF THE WATER. But we can't control what we will be afraid of. What we can control is our mind. We can convince our mind that we will be safe, that it's harmless because there is really nothing to be worried about. ... Fear doesn't go away by resistance. Just embrace it. Expose yourself to it. Do it again and again and again and again until fear becomes excitement. Believe in yourself and believe in your Instructor. I won't let you do things I know you can't do. Whatever you feed your mind, your body will follow. So cultivate positive thoughts. See you at the pool!
