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.

Since it's summer, it's time to enrol the kids again in a swimming program!

Swimming Lessons: Bert Lozada Swim School at Ace Water Spa

My son took his first swimming lessons at Bert Lozada, Ace Water Spa, Pasig branch. He was part of the first batch.

happiness!

Off to the male locker.

Since my son is already 7-years-old, he's not allowed be inside the female locker room. That worried us since he'll be alone inside the male locker room! Grateful that Ace Water Spa and Bert Lozada's staff assisted him inside.

see you after class!

Parents and guardians are not allowed in specified places, especially in the pool area. There are attendants so you won't have to worry too much. Just keep a watchful eye on your kid.

I watched and took some photos from the 2nd floor window.

Stretching exercises before the lesson.

Basic floating. Head under water. 

now, I'm floating!

Facing his fears and learning the basics are very important for me. They taught lessons fitted for my son and he was able to progress at his own rate.

I agree with their swimming method, "There are no shortcuts to achieve total independence or success in the water."

Glad that my son was able to enjoy his summer days. Though things had not started well on his first day, and we have to call on the school's attention, it ended well.

I know that the10 days swimming session is not enough since he's just starting with the basics. Until now, he's asking me to take more swimming lessons at Ace Water Spa.

Thanks to everyone at Ace Water Spa, for making Brent's summer lessons an enjoyable one! Special mention to Teacher Rojar (his swimming teacher) and Teacher Oliver (his locker room buddy).


If you're planning to enroll your kids at D' Ace Plaza, here are some reminders:

• Be there 15 minutes before the class starts
• Before every lesson, you need to go to Bert Lozada's office at the lower ground to give your ID in exchange of a swimmer's pass
• Then, present the swimmer's pass at the reception area to get your stub and locker room key
• Go inside the locker room and give your stub. They will keep your shoes, sandals or slippers
• Then, take a shower a few minutes before the lesson starts

Proper swimming attire, goggles, kick board and swimming caps are required. But you can borrow caps for free if you don't have any.

What I love most about Ace Water Spa?

• Swimming at their heated indoor pool without worrying about sunburn
• Helpful and courteous staffs
• Systematic procedures and safety rules for everyone's benefit

Summer isn't over yet. You and your kids still have time to take swimming lessons or other activities before school starts.

You can join the last batch of Bert Lozada's swimming lessons. Batch 5 runs from May 22 - June 1, 2013.

Summer Starts Early

It's Summer time!

It's the season when almost everyone enjoys taking a long vacation, either to escape the summer heat or have fun under the hot sun.

My family lives in a community where the swimming pool is just a few steps away. I can even see the clubhouse from our window. It means that we can always spend time at the pool everyday! Or we can drop by at my sister's place for another swimming pool enjoyment. Still, nothing compares to spending time with other family members and relatives.

Our summer started early this year! Our family and relatives already had a great time swimming at a private pool in Laguna. Not everyone were around though, but spending time with relatives - especially those living and working abroad - is worth it.
