The reason is probably I want them to enjoy what they are doing, and I am afraid for them to go down the road where I ended up hating swimming. The other reason is that they do not like the water when its cold. So, bringing them for a swim depends on the weather and the time.
When I used to swim at 530am in the morning for trainings, the weather was so cold that I kept sneezing and catching a cold. That probably led to my permanent nose block now which caused me to breathe through my mouth. So, I am really afraid of my kids catching a cold from their swim.
But nevertheless, I do bring them for a swim when I see the opportunity to just play and have confidence in it.
Danielle seemed to enjoy swimming and when the time comes, I will surely teach them or put them into swimming classes.
But for now, I will just wait...

u hate swimming? that's new to me.
i also din know u've got a blocked nose from swimming!
but even now, i'm full of admiration for the discipline and rigour you underwent for the sport.
and for your mum. i cant imagine waking up my kids that early and making them swim in cold water!
Yea, I hated swimming after a while cos of the pain I get from my aching muscles each time and the waking early part. So tiring and my mum would dismiss all that and force me to go. I was scared of her..haha. And yes, I dun breathe through my nose at all since dunno when..
