~ Denver's SwimSafer Bronze Award ~

Since NASSA has been replaced by SwimSafer in July 2010, the NASSA Bronze Award which Denver had obtained last year is no longer valid. Hence, for the past few months, Denver re-trained and took his SwimSafer swimming test early last month.

We only managed to collect the certificate from the instructor today as Denver has been absent for a couple of weeks due to vacation and illness. We are also temporary stopping his swimming lesson for the next 2-3 months since Hubby will be away on business trips. Hopefully everything will be back on track soon. :)

~ Denver's NASSA Bronze Certificate ~

Denver received his National Survival Swimming Bronze Award certificate today. (After passing his swimming test 3 months ago). It also comes with a badge and pin. ^_^ Definitely another acheivement from our boy.

With SwimSafer rolling out this July, this probably is the last certificate we are receiving from NASSA. By the time we enroll Gladys to swimming next year or 2, she'll probably be learning through the SwimSafer way. Will Denver continues to move on and get a Silver Award then?? ^_^

~ While Hubby is away - Day 5 ~

It has been a long time since I accompany Denver to his swimming lesson. It was a cooling morning and we arrived at the pool early. Denver had some free time to play while waiting for his instructor to come.

Denver is learning backstroke now and also how to dive in from the start (like those in the swimming competition). After lesson, he bathed himself in the toilet while I waited outside. I guess Hubby will follow Denver in when he is around... so this is the first time I am leaving it everything to him alone. heheh.

The rest of the day is basically spending time with the children studying, having our lunch and playing at Compasspoint and the rest of the evening at home. Gladys wanted to paint and so it is another round of messy session again.

End of Day 5 and I am still keeping my sanity except with more bodyaches. :p
