I learned how to swim last year and now I am more comfortable being in the water. However, I knew I was still not satisfied with my skills. I still panic when I am in deep waters. I still didn't know how to tread.
Swim Central does lessons in several swimming pool venues in Manila and the nearest one for me is Mares Philippines.
Half of the pool is 14 ft deep while the other half is 4 ft. I found out that there are also scuba diving lessons being held here. Coach Carlo facilitated the swimming lessons. During the first day, it was a one-on-one session, as it happened that I was the only student that registered for that schedule. This proved to be very advantageous for me because I learned a lot from that session. Aside from the treading sessions (fisherman or frog kick), coach Carlo also taught me how to recover from cramps when you are in the middle of the water, showed techniques on what to do when you get too tired from treading (do floating!) and even corrected my freestyle swimming form.
During my second day, there were four of us students. The objective for the second day is to teach the student how to move in deep waters. Coach taught two ways to swim : 1- hands: doggy style of swimming(not sure how to call it) + feet: flutter kick, 2- feet: frog kick. I found the first one to be more comfortable for me. I just need to still do some practice and improve my endurance because I got tired easily. 😅
I am very excited to apply these skills on my future water adventures. This is another bucketlist checked for me!
