Bert Lozada summer swim school

Last summer, my son joined the BLSS Summer Swimming Program at D'Ace Plaza Indoor Heated Pool, Ace Water Spa in Pasig City.

You can check my post Swimming Lessons: Bert Lozada Swim School at Ace Water Spa.

Since he has no swimming experience, he was part of the Jammer 1 group (7 years old and above). This program is for kids who are developing 15m Survival Swim and 15m Basic Freestyle. It's a 10 1-hour lesson package from Monday to Saturday. He enjoyed the daily lessons and develop confidence and basic skills as well.

What I like is the small teacher to student ration and the comprehensive progress assessment report that they give each student.  They have a personalized approach, which is best especially for kids who have no confidence in the water.

Google Maps Helped Me Find Places

In a few weeks, my kids would start enjoying their school summer vacation.

Aside from going to the beach and traveling, summer is the best time for summer workshops. Parents are already looking for fun activities that their kids can do this summer. These workshops develop and enrich every child’s self-confidence, skills, creativity, imagination and self-expression. It allows them to explore their talents and interests.

Google maps marketing are really helpful. Business that can be found online has a potential of reaching more clients and customers. 

I've already seen many summer classes for kids and teens  - from sports clinics, art classes, music and theater courses, cooking and baking classes. Aside from that, there are also academic enrichment classes in Math, Science, Reading and foreign languages. See, there's really a lot to choose from and consider.

Aside from checking out the locations of these different summer schools, my husband and I spent time searching online for schools near my mother-in-laws' house. Good that there's Google map. I rely on that map most of the time. My husband didn't have a hard time checking out the schools since Google map provided him with a sense of direction.

I really like using Google map to find locations of businesses. It always helped me find directions and locate establishments easily. It's even better since phone number and exact addresses are listed as well.

I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

Fish & Co. Little Fisherians Summer Workshop

I'm glad that my 5-year old son and my youngest sister enjoyed the Little Fisherian's Workshop of Fish & Co. It's just a 4-day workshop, but they really had a great time.

+ T-Shirt Painting Activity

Kids at Art did a good job at handling this activity. I'm impressed that Brent drew and painted without complain, and proudly showed-off his painted T-shirt.



+ Pizza Making

They're too excited to make their own pizza.



My son could finish off this pizza, but he took home a small slice so I can taste the pizza he made!



+ Kids-On-Duty

They enjoyed being a kiddie-crew for a day - from greeting the customers, setting the table, preparing the customer's drinks, and more! They got to try what the crews at Fish & Co. are doing when customers are dining inside the restaurant.

A celebrity, Ms. Coney Reyes, and her family dined in that day! Table for 6, please.



Kiddie crew in action!





Of course, they love the daily great-tasting kiddie meals. The servings are enough to satisfy their appetite.



Thanks to everyone at Fish & Co. Shangri-La for this wonderful learning experience.

Fish & Co. Little Fisherians

Today, my 5-year old son joined Fish&Co's Little Fisherians summer workshop together with my youngest sister. I can't be with them today, but good thing that mama and our yaya are there to accompany the kids. I'm already wondering how my little 'big' boy is doing.

The workshop only runs for 4 days. I hope they'll both enjoy the cooking lessons and being a Kiddie Staff for a Day! They will also have a T-Shirt painting workshop.

Registration fee is only Php 750, inclusive of kiddie meal and uniform.

Kids ages 5-12 can join this Little Fisherians workshop. It is offered at Fish & Co. branches at Shangri-La Plaza, Trinoma, Greenbelt 3 and Alabang Town Center. If you're planning to enroll your kids, the last wave will be on May 9-12.
