Rizq is currently overjoyed when he heard that his teacher says he will be joining his classmates for Swimming class scheduled in June this year…So, he’s been asking his Papa to bring him swimming if Papa is Free (not busy)…so we decided that every weekend we will either bring him for a swim or bring him jalan2…..

Here are some advice taken from CaringForKids :

When can my child take swimming lessons?
There is not a lot of research about the exact age when young children are ready to learn how to swim. Several studies show that children do not have the skills to swim on their own until they are 4 years old, even if they start lessons at a younger age.
