Swim Lessons

Sunday 9:30 AM at Australian Swim School in Fountain Valley, inside the LA Fitness center.

William is still asking “No Swim” every time but when I said “If we swim today, no swim tomorrow!” he seems to be fine and let me put on his swim suit. Before he’d cry and kick.

The pool at this location is small, it has 3 lanes and there’s only 1 lane that’s designated for Australian Swim School, the other 2 lanes reserved for LA Fitness members. Now William is ok of getting into the pool but still refuses to use the noodles or boards. Some days he’d be ok with board but only after a few minutes of persuasion from the teacher. Some days the teacher (Christopher) just gave up and let William hold on to his arms or shoulders.

Today Christopher was sick so we got a substitute.

Australian Swim School just made new changes: the fee is increased and no make up allowed for cancellations except those that have doctor’s notes.

For those days that school closed due to holiday we can have whenever to schedule for make up, doesn’t have to be within 1 year.

Australian Swim School – New Location

We changed the location from Santa Ana to Fountain Valley; the pool here is inside the LA Fitness Center on Tabert and Brookhust.

William cried on the way because he knew we were not driving to the Santa Ana location. He kept saying, Make a U-turn, I want to go to Australian Swim school. He does not understand yet that the school can have several locations :).

William’s Second Swim Lesson At Australian Swim School

Saturday 10:30 AM. When we told him we were going to the pool, he kept saying “No, no”; and then kept saying “I want to go home!” thru out the 30 minutes session. There was only William today so he had full attention from the swim instructor Anthony. Despite the fact that he sometime cried, he did very good. He put his face in the water and lift face up when he was out of breath. Today he learned to swim face up: he was scared at first but toward the end of session, he was getting much better. Seeing how he can learn so fast, we decide to let him continue the swim lessons.

Afterward, we took him to the Mc Donald per his request; he loved the playground here.

William’s First Swim Lesson At Australian Swim School

Posted on August 18, 2018August 24, 2018 by MICHELLE N

Saturday 10:30 AM. William liked his swim lessons at the daycare so much that I decided to sign him up for swim lessons. After searching and asking around, I signed up at Australian Swim School in Santa Ana, which is 15 minutes driving from our house. It’s 30 minutes per session for every Saturday; the tuition fee is $86/month.

He didn’t want to enter the door so we had to carry him; and when it’s time to get to the pool he kept saying “No, no!”. Anthony, the instructor said he would not mind if William cries, just take him to the pool and hand William to him so I did. William kept saying “I want to to home!” and eventually cried toward the end of the session so we took him out of the pool 10 minutes early. To reward him we took him to Mc. Donald for some chicken nuggets and fries.
