Han Upgraded to Yellow Level 2

Time flies, it's Saturday again. My routine work at home....breakfast with family, updating expenditure records, sent Han for swimming class in the afternoon. Han was upgraded to Yellow Level 2 last week, she told me it's getting harder now after the swim lesson. Yes, there is no easy things in the world that you can get it without putting any effort. She was at Level 1 since 1 July, it took about 2 months ++ for her to complete.

She has 2 more levels to go to complete her junior program, which according to the schedule, should be around 18 months, including this Level 2. The fastest will be 12 months, depending on her progress and learning ability. Thereafter, she can enroll into Mini Squad. I will leave it to her.....as long she has the interest in swimming, will let her continue to learn. After all, it's a life skill and may be useful for her one day. Need to let her explore more interest so that she can choose one and pursue accordingly when she grows up later. 

We went for Roti Canai after the swimming class as Han said she was hungry. Stomach was quite full and decided to go for a jog in the evening to burn my extra calories. After ironing my cloths, went out at 6pm for the exercise.

Han Moves to Yellow Level 1

After 7 lessons in her red level 2, finally she completed this level now and move to Yellow Level 1 from 1 July onward. She really likes swimming but again her less attentive remains her weakness. I told her that if she still does not pay attention to what  teacher says, I would not send her to swimming again. Hopefully she can improve from here, otherwise, got to find ways to overcome her less focus attitude. Let's see how many lessons she has to undertake to move to yellow level 2.

Han Completed Her Red Level 1 Swimming

After 5 refreshing lessons, Han completed her Red Level 1 today and is upgraded to Red Level 2 in her next swim lesson. I observed her during the previous few lessons that she did not pay attention to her teacher and always wondering. She always does not focus on the things she does including her study and school works. Is this her in-born character or the result of the wrong methods we educated her ?

Han Completed Swimming Red Level 1

After 4 refreshing lessons in level 1, Han passed her assessment and was given a green light to go to level 2.

She is always happy when come to swimming

 

These are the few skills in basic water confidence & movement

Now Han is in Red Level 2.

Flooding @ Section 26, Shah Alam

It's Han swimming class today. Weather was not good, drizzling when leaving home, not sure if the class will be canceled later. Arrived at Panasonic Sport Complex, very cloudy from far side. Proceeded to the swimming pool, class started as usual.....about 20 minutes later, rain started, class continued until hearing thunder from far side....life guard whistled, all people has to come out from the swimming pool. The teacher told us to wait until for news whether the class would be canceled and be replaced. We waited for about 20 minutes and finally the class was called off and we would be informed later for the replacement class.

Me and Han stranded at the sport complex for about 30 minutes as I did not bring umbrella. I did ask Han to wait for me at the drop off area so that I can drive the car over but she refused though there were children and guard waiting there. She is a timid girl whereas Xuan is more daring.

The rain did not stop along the way home. When we reached at Section 26 Industrial Park, cars were slowing down and saw few cars halted at the road side. This is a flooding prone area due to poor drainage system.

 Cars slowing down...

At least a foot height of water covering the road, small or sedan cars may face challenge to cross it.

Some cars are turning left to avoid the flood.

Why the local council does not take any action to rectify the problem ? I believe this has been happening for sometimes.....or they just want to wait until election time ? This is a norm in our Boleh Land...... we have to live with it.

Jing Han Goes Back for Swimming Class

Han had stopped her swimming lesson for over a year. The last class she went was on Oct 2015 at National Aquatic Centre in Bukit Jalil, before I went to New Zealand. However, the Aquatic centre had closed for renovation, apparently is preparing for the forthcoming South East Asians Games this year. 

She has to go through and assessment, according to the D-Swim Academy staff when I contacted them few days ago. Jing Han was delighted to know that she could go back to swimming class, hopefully this is one of her interests so that she can build up her self-confidence through this activity.

Brought her over to Panasonic Sports Complex in Shah Alam since D-Swim has a centre there and it is about 15 minutes drive from home, which is more nearer compare to Bukit Jalil. She was in Red Level 2 under the Junior Swimming Programs. During the assessment, she could not remember the swimming strokes, the assessor said she has to go back to Level 1 for a few lessons before deciding to let her go back to Level 2.

She really enjoys her swimming.

There are only 3 kids in her group

Swimming @ Pusat Akuatik Shah Alam
