1 Year with Aqualogic

It’s been almost a year now since Bela started with Aqualogic and I am really happy that we enrolled her for their Aqua Kids class. She is just so comfortable in the water and she just loves being in the pool.

They are actually teaching her now how to do the free style and I was amazed because Bela can follow the instructions well. There was even one time when she had a one-on-one with one of the teachers and she was able to cross the entire kiddie pool by doing the free style.

Unfortunately, we will be away the whole month of May so I enrolled her only for 4 sessions for summer (and her brother will also be joining her). But I plan to enrol her back for the whole year again come June.

She is just so happy every time she is in the water and seeing how well she does, I know swimming is one of the sports where she will excel.

Takbo Para sa Karunungan

Bela and Howell will be joining this:

DZMM will be sponsoring a fun run at the Quirino Grand Stan dubbed as “Takbo para sa Karanungan” next Sunday, March 13, 2011. Hubby registered himself and Bela for the 3K run and he got their uniforms and document already.

Howell is already excited for Bela as this will be Bela’s first marathon. Of course we are not really expecting that they will win but all hubby wants is for Bela to have this kind of exposure so she will get to enjoy different activities and then it is up to her to decide which sports she wants to pursue.

You know how much excited hubby is? He is even planning to go to Recto to order a personalized medal for Bela for participating in the marathon. LOL. And so I thought that I am the only stage parent in our family. I guess I am wrong as Howell is doing a much better job of being a stage dad.

Her First Swim-a-Thon

Last Sunday was the Aqualogic’s Swim-a-Thon and Graduation day. I received a call from Vanessa, one of Aqualogic’s staff, and she was asking me if I wish to sign up Bela for the Swim-a-thon. Of course being the stage mom that I am, I immediately said yes. Here is a picture of me and Bela while Bela is waiting for her turn for the Swim-a-thon (noticed how big I am? I will definitely need herbal phentermine to help me loose weight after I give birth).

After Bela’s encounter with Teacher Ria last Friday (which I posted here), Bela kept on telling me that she will not join the race (the swim-a-thon) and will just watch the other kids. But then when she saw the other kids in the pool, she quickly jumped into the pool but she kept on reminding me that she will just play and will not join the race. So I told her that it is not a race and she is just there to have fun.

For the swim-a-thon, the kids were given barbells and they will swim one full lap. Every lap that they finish corresponds to one pledge from their sponsor and the proceeds will go to Greenpeace.

Bela was able to finish one lap (with her barbell of course) and I was cheering for her (as per her request) while she swam from one end of the pool to the next. She had fun, though she kept on saying “It is not a race mom.” LOL
