Luqman had his first swimming experience during the last Raya. He was about 8 months at that time. No professional was hired, it was just us being his coaches ;)
I initially wanted to let him swim earlier but you know lah, my mum, "He is still so small, cannottttt" not knowing that it is perfectly okay for babies as early as a few weeks to swim. They have what is called the swimming and diving reflex. But it's okay, we adhered and decided to wait till he was at least 7 months.
So when we went for a raya holiday in Malacca, we decided to give Luqman a taste of the pool.
He hated the arm floats
He was okay in water but we dared not let him go underwater yet.
It was Luqman's dad I was quite worried for hehe
We're thinking that we should have gotten the round waist float instead because the bulky arms sort of limited his movements. Will get them later for his next swimming session.
Looking forward to more swimming sessions ya, little boy?
