Inspring Success Story by Penny

Dear All,

Here's a feedback from our student Ms. Penny.

Thank you for arranging my swimming lessons with Ms Kum today, at Toa Payoh Swimming Complex (every Weds 7pm).

I am very impressed with Ms Kum. She is exactly what a swimming instructor should be - very professional, thorough and speaks well. Started off with completing a form, giving our personal details and next of kin contact in case of emergencies.

Begins with some theory lessons on preparation before swimming. No eating at least 3-4 hours before classes. No wearing ear-rings or other jewellery. Don’t exercise in water too much before class as this will tire our muscles quickly. Rules of swimming: never swim alone – always be with someone. When swimming in the sea, always swim along coastline, never towards the open sea due to strong tides.

Ms Kum also showed the proper way to enter the pool using ladder. Thereafter, started breathing techniques, arm movements, head control in and out of water. The right way to pull legs under water to a stand position. When to use float, when to let go, how to float.....

Before I knew it, the lesson was over. It was a very productive first lesson and I really enjoyed myself very much.

It is very important and beneficial to both parties that theory, structure, understanding of swimming, environmental conditions should be acknowledged, not merely just getting in a pool and splashing around. As a beginner, the crucial facts of swimming that Ms Kum highlighted to us 3 ladies yesterday are extremely significant and of valuable information. I did not know it myself. As much as swimming is an enjoyment, we should also be advised of the dangers it entails and the consequences leading to mishaps.

I look forward to many lessons with Ms Kum.
