Cassandra’s Swimming Lessons and Position

This picture was taken at Cass’ swimming session yesterday at our condo.

Cass is now joining two other girls (aged 8 and 9 years old – living at the same block as us) in the swimming class.  Can you spot Cass?

Of the 3 girls, Cass is the slowest in terms of speed and agility. Nonetheless, she has shown vast improvement within these 2 months under the new swimming coach (female coach now).  Cass has been telling me that she ain’t exactly enjoying her swimming lessons as she finds it tough and tiring but I ain’t letting her give up. I will never let her give up learning swimming until she can swim like a fish. I told her that swimming is a survival skill and whether she likes it or hates it, she has no choice but to master it, period!  I told her that she will one day love me for forcing her to learn swimming.  And that’s what I always tell Alycia and Sherilyn – that they can hate me now for forcing them to study hard but one day, they will definitely secretly or openly tell me that they love me for being a tiger mom!

On another note, Cass told me 2 days ago that her  teacher informed the class that she is one of the students who has garnered the top 5 positions in class!  But the actual position is not announced yet. I don’t understand why the teacher has to wrap this up in such a suspense for the kids and mothers!  Cass can’t wait for this Saturday to come as it will be parents-teachers meeting day for report card collection.  This impatient mommy quickly logged in to the MoE website to check her class and standard position online. For 2 days the website was down and today it’s finally up and running again and I managed to check the positions for all 3 girls!   So am I a happy and satisfied mommy or a crestfallen one?  Ain’t letting you know yet. Do catch my post on Saturday to find out! 😉
