Swimming Lesson: part 3

[patchuchai]

sis, patchuchai, same here, hindi rin ako marunong kahit basic floating.  as in super beginner level talaga.  i'm fine with ywca.  the thing is, my work ends at 5 pm pa.  pero pwede ako ng early am schedule like untl 8 am.  i'll try to research din baka may iba pang swimming lessons within the area.  and mag-inquire din ako sa rizal. i'll keep you posted with the updates within the week.

Hi sis! ok lang sa akin ang 5pm out ko kasi sa office 4:30pm, pero kapag umaga hindi pwede coz my work starts at 6:30am. I havent inquired yet sa YWCA pero mamaya baka mapuntahan or matawagan ko, so near lang talaga sa akin. I hope hindi mataas ang tuition. kung sakali ma-te-test ang patience ng instructor natin, baka 1st day pa lang sasakit na ulo nya..lol. sige sis just keep on posting for updates.


@sis clefairy19: yes nakikita ko na iyong poster sa YMCA kaso sis dadayuin ko pa iyon, isang sakay pa ako unlike sa YWCA tatawid lang ako tapos konting lakad iyon na. post ka rin ng experience mo.

[clefairy19]

Saan po yung ywca? Gusto ko kasing ipractice yung natutunan ko pero fully booked talaga ang ymca.

[lizzete]

Wow gusto ko din magenroll ng swiming may pwede po ba makasabay dito

[patchuchai]

ywca malapit sa eac o emilio aguinaldo college sa taft avenue,nagpunta na akp kania 12 sessions sched is 5-6pm MWF. nakita ko na rin ang pool ok naman. si coach babae nasa late 50s na. ok lang sa kanya naka rush guard pero huwag lomg sleeve, parang gusto ko nag enrol.t i forgot 1,800 pala sa whole session.

[clefairy19]

1,800 lang for 12 sessions?! Aww sana nalaman ko kaagad yan. Mas malapit pala ako sa ywca, isang sakay lang compared sa ymca na 2.

[clefairy19]

Ok naman ang ymca, late 50's na lalaki ang nagtuturo. Hindi siya technical magturo, hindi ieexplain ang strokes. Basta gagawin nya then susunod ka. Tapos ikcritique ang form mo. Nagwork naman sa akin dahil in 1 day marunong na ako ng basic freestyle.

What is ywca? Gaano kalaki yung pool? Enhancing na lang ang kulang ko.

[schizo_me]

sis, covered ba sa YWCA?

[drag0nfly]

I started swimming every day this week.  Nakita ko kasi gano pumayat si Liz Uy dahil sa swimming kaya gagayahin ko din hahaha.  Total body workout pala eto, super sore ng katawan ko lagi.

[yezzel]

last time na nagpost ako dito .. di pa ako marunong lumangoy.. now confident na sa malalim.. if you want to know sino nagturo saken.. pm niyo lang ako i can give his contact number.. he is teaching private lesson , siya mismo pumupunta dito sa  las pinas para turuan ako ..

[CentrumSilver]

To get the most out of the swimming sessions do lap sets. Freestyle 200m warm up, 30sec rest. Then 4x50m sprints, 30 sec rest intervals. 200m breast stroke. 100m pulls then 100m kickboard. 200m cool down lap. Thats around a 30-40 minute workout.

[drag0nfly]

@CentrumSilver - sis, mga ilang laps kaya yung 200m laps?  di ko kasi alam length nung pool.  i'm 5'7" if that helps.  ano din yung pulls?  marunong ako magswim pero basic lang ang knowledge ko hehe.

thanks!

^ I'm a guy. Yung pool sa Rizal memorial 50 meter pool yun. Isang lap back and forth the length of pool is 100 meters. Pull buoy is a small piece of styrofoam that you tuck in between the legs when you swim. You will be working your arms while your legs are holding the buoy.  Kickboard is also a small piece of styrofoam that you hold on while you work your kick.

Here's a video on how to use the pull buoy:

sa Bert Lozada Swim School, pag hindi ka nakasabay sa summer schedule nila, kailangan ma-meet yung quota na minimum number of students sa isang class para matuloy yung class, right? ano ang minimum nila? yun lang problema, kasi pag di ka nakasabay sa summer schedule, syempre bihirang-bihira naman ang adults na nagswiswimming lesson.

i'm nearing my 30s na kasi and i want to learn to swim before my Palawan trip next year. also, gusto ko kasi indoor pool sa Makati. kaya ang first option ko na venue ay yung sa A-Venue Hotel Indoor Pool sa Makati, Lozada conducts swimming classes there (well, according to their website).

Hi sis. ask ko lang kung natuloy ka sa A-Venue through Bert Lozada? Interested din kasi ako sa swimming and im looking at yung venue na to but im not sure kung nagcconduct ng swimming class. thanks for the feedback

Addiction ko talaga gumamit ng pull buoy  Kahit saang outing na swimming dala dala ko parati yan tapos yan na rin ang salbabida ko.

A bit off the topic(OT if you prefer)
Someone from this thread asks why chose female instructors?
I specifically chose to find straight female instructors because it comforts my mindset that I am safe
while in 1-1 trainning or learning a new skill. i had one very first bad experience when i was 21yrs old learning how to drive from an unprincipled instructor. i did not complete my driving lessons and kept silent with the issue and shrug it away as a bad incident. I am always dressed casually(long jeans, plain polo shirt)I never flirted or talk nonsense with any of my instructors even in my younger years. But this does not mean all instructors are bad or hyenas. I just have to keep guard myself everytime. Though male instructors are the best coach when it comes to technical trainning, i would hate to punish myself "over respecting" my trainor when I paid for that trainning and for the experience.

Hi pinkk, from your previous post i've read good things abt your coach, could you help me give her land line numbers or in rizal stadium(taft mla?) , i am planning to enroll my kids this coming summer, ages 6 yrs old and 3 yrs old both boys, how much? How many sessions? Cant pm you i am only probi here, pls help. Thanks
