fitness How To Learn To Swim

[king_koofal]

Any body knows a sport swimming pool that is around mandaluyong? I am near kalentong area. The last sports swimming pool I have visited was in YMCA manila.

Learning to swim is an asset, life saver pa! Unfortunately im not good at it. Does anybody knows of a good swimming school or instructor?

 

How much budget should we allocate for this kaya?

kahit po ako di rin marunong mag swim, but marunong ako sumisid... some of my friends find that weird since how come I don't know how to swim e marunong naman daw ako sumisid. sabi ko, madali lang lumubog.. heheheh

 

Same problem here. Marunong ako sumisid, (which is partly the reason why I discovered snorkeling ), pero di ako marunong mag floating. ... Siguro, wrong order of learning ang nangyari. Nauna kong matutunan huminga sa ilalim ng tubig nang matagal, tapos nawili ako. Dapat inuna ko matutunan ang paglutang.

 

Tama yung comments ng mga fellow MTC members natin dito... Kung nalubog ang barkong sinasakyan mo, yung kakayahan mo sa floating ang magliligtas sa yo, hindi yung sa pagsisid. This idea made me push myself recently to learn floating.

 

Pag nasa dagat kami para mag snorkeling (syempre yung malalim na bahagi ng dagat), hindi ako nagsusuot ng life vest. For two reasons: (1) para makasisid ako at mas makalapit ako sa mga corals at isda, and (2) para mapilitan ako matutong mag floating.

Very good! Have you thought of getting a diver's license?

take swimming lessons:) but seriously have someone teach u the basics of floating. first is to get rid of the fear of water or drowing so you may start swimming on the edges of the pool. if you can find a salt water pool the better because it is easier to float on sea water:D

 

don't forget to wear proper swimming attire. tshirts are bulky. theyre a big no-no in swimming.

 

personally i'd rather not swim if i can't wear my swimming attire. by these i mean places where people are so ignorant that they tend to gawk at you if you wear swimsuit.

You should start learning. Sabi nga nila if you dont know how to swim you miss half of your life

[paparoach]

ako sa tingin ko, when the exact life and death moment comes, that would be the only time i would learn how to swim...

 

maybe this would happen with some sort of cinematic effects, bright lights, surround sound, deep-toned voice over...yeah,

 

but fornow, i keep close to the life vest cabinets...heheheh

[paparoach]

hope i lcould still cram my learnings in time for the April Pool Party!!!!
