Maryam & Swimming Lesson

Maryam's swimming journey has started since last December 2015 when i noticed through my readings (i mean i readdly diggged up a lot of info) that swimming could actually improved so many aspectS of a child well-being. bermula dengan sepotong Hadis Sahih from Bukhari/Muslim that says

"Ajarilah anak-anak kalian berkuda, berenang dan memanah" (Riwayat Sahih Bukahri/Muslim)

I have always believed that aktiviti riadah yang menjadi sunah Nabi ni mesti ada banyak advantages so, through my readings, one thing i found that swimming could enhance confidence and motivation in many aspects of life. On that particular note we as parents rasa elok bagi Maryam pelajari "SKILL" di usia dia yang baru menjangkau 4 tahun ni.

We started quite good in the beginning of the first lesson where i could see Maryam was actually enjoying it sooo much but then after a few lessons, (as the lesson advances) i think Maryam finds it very challenging to her that she wanted to quit swimming. Kat sini lahh i rasa agak challenging for me as a mother to keep her motivation level high. Alhamdulillah, berjaya pujuk so far till today. keep telling her why swimming is good for her.

SP Arena

Her swimming lesson is only once a week on every Saturday evening but last Saturday we decided to change environment a lil' bit by sending her to another swimming class venue kat Sungai Petani (SP Inn). Saja lah.. tukar angin... coach dia ada a few venues for swimming class..so kita boleh pilih nak hantaq kat mana... SP is very close to our place also, so pagi drove up there and i think the new venue has managed to get her accomplished something this week.

SP Inn

Kat SP Inn rasanya lebih fokus. Environment lebih conducive and lebih relax.... rasa macam nak continue her lesson at this venue ja ni... heheh...

muka ada senyum

oklah just to share a few things on what swimming can do to our children:-

Satu kajian dikendalikan oleh Professor Liselott Diem dari 1974 hingga 1976 di German Sports Collage di Cologne, Jerman mendapati kanak-kanak yang mempelajari berenang pada satu peringkat awal menunjukkan pembanguan lanjutan dalam:
kemahiran motor kasar dan halus
refleksi (masa tindak balas)
Kuasa tumpuan (fokus)
Kepintaran / kecerdasan
Tabiat sosial
Interaksi sosial
Keyakinan diri
Kebebasan
Boleh menangani situsi yang diluar jangka.
Kanak-kanak ini didapati cukup laras berbanding rakan sebayanya yang tidak terlibat dalam program renang. Peningkatan dalam kedua-dua faktor iatu self-esteem dan independance menjadi faktor yang berkaitan antara satu sama lain. Kajian juga menunjukkan kanak-kanak yang diajar berenang sejak kecil akan menunjukkan interaksi yang positif dan ikatan yang kukuh dengan ibu bapa mereka.

In discussion ( i mean  mak2punya feedback  yang send anak2 pegi swimming class ni) we have shared how swimming has help anak2 yang ada masalah seperti stutter... it miraculously help the child to speak better..ada yang cerita anak2 punya tahap fokus dalam pelajaran pun ada perubahan... also baru i tahu yang swimming actually helps anak2 dalam mengaji Al-Quran jugak...woww...  betullah dalam Sunnah tu ada keberkatan. kan! banyak lagi lah cerita yang best2 i dengaq mak2 ni share... Alhamdulillah..harap2 anak i will persevere. Ameen. I know it's hard.

As for me, harapan i for my anak solehah yang sorang ni, i hope this skill could benefit her in a long run. hopefully it helps her in her schooling too, Inshaa Allah. Bak kata coach dia, swimming skill is not something easy... kalau i pun belum tentu boleh tahan nafas lama2 kat dasar kolam tu like how Maryam mananged to do...

Makin besaq makin panjang akai!
