Went for his last swim class on Saturday. The big one is taking over, although I'm more keen for his first ever swimming coach / a friend of ours / ex-water polo player / Uncle J / to coach him instead. Uncle J got him swimming in less than 6 sessions and they seem to like each other. Lessons stopped because Uncle J had other commitments. Anyway, we then tried hooking him up with Uncle G... but that turned out to be as hilarious as it was disasterous. In a 3-month period, they only managed to meet each other twice in the water. And if you're going to learn how to swim.... you kinda need to be in the water together. We were convinced that their 八字/ 8-characters was simply put, not compatible.
The big one decided quite a while back that he was going to stop the small one's lessons with this coach after his swim test. The coach is great for getting the students up to speed with the test requirements but not really attentive with their swimming technique which, to us, is really more important than passing tests. That said, he did get all his students to pass. Quite a feat I must say.
Anyway, until we find him a new coach, or Uncle J - hopefully?, he's going to be swimming with his father.
