my son learning to swim

When we are at guangzhou, there is a swimming pool for free use, so we used it a lot.

It's hard to persuade my son to get inside water at the 1st day morning, but it comes to be very happy at playing in water soon. As he loves the feeling of moving in water with the help of float. We also managed to overcome the fear of getting cold in the trip back to beijing.

At the 2nd noon, when we get inside water again, he even dare to jump inside water by himself, and he begin to love the swim by himself. As we are still holding him to kept him from getting drunk (without the help of float), he suddenly got the feeling that he has learned how to swim. So he ask me to not hold him by hand, and I refused that request. But that make him very unhappy, finally he broke into cry for freedom.

This is an interesting thing for us, both to me and to my wife, we plan to give him more chance to learn swimming after return to beijing.
