do you find it fun to go swimming with kids in a kiddie swimming pool? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4924)   ranked 10 out of 631 in swimming7 months ago

we went swimming yesterday in a public resort at another town. i went with my 3-year old nephew, xyron, my teenage niece, nika, and my teenage nephew from a cousin, stalin. together with us is a friend with her two children.

i never thought i would have so much fun even though i was in a kiddie swimming pool! lol i only got to swim once in the adult swimming pool because i had to watch over my nephew who seemed so little among those energetic children playing in the slides in that small kiddie pool. at first he was so afraid on swimming and he couldn't let go of me and was content on splashing water to me and to other kids while clinging at me. my friend's children even tried to convince him but to no avail. doh but i made him play by himself and after a while he wasn't so scared anymore. but i didn't know if i should be sorry or happy for it because he couldn't stop playing in the slides! he went there i think at least 20 times! or even more than that. and i couldn't do anything but to watch over him in fear that he might slip or something.

but nevertheless, i had fun because it was fun watching him having fun and all those kids who couldn't get enough of the slides and even the water which i bet was already dirty at that time. lol children indeed can be happy with simple things.

so, have you ever gone swimming in a kiddie swimming pool with little children? did you find it fun?^__^

I do enjoy swimming with kids. I think those public pools with slides and such are very fun. I just remember to take a very long shower, and get super clean when I am done. I try not to think about how gross the water is when I am there, but sometimes the thoughts consume me, and I get a little disgusted!

Otherwise, I love playing with kiddos, and especially if they cant swim very well. Its nice to help reduce the fear of the water, like you did.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4924)   ranked 10 out of 631 in swimming  7 months ago

yeah, it was fun that he overcame his fear of waters. he was really funny when he was still scared because the water level is only up to his waist. not really something to be afraid of.^__^;; and the presence of so many lifeguards there was kind of comforting. i did wash him thoroughly in the shower after we're done swimming. happy

Unfortunately summer hasn't arrived yet. I told my son that it will arrive in May. And he looks forward to it. As it means we can go to have a swimming together. He still remember the funny stuff of the kiddie swimming pool we went to last year. I tell him to eat more and therefore he will swim well. Perhaps it's a beautiful lie as he is still too little to swimwink


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4924)   ranked 10 out of 631 in swimming  7 months ago

i think its a white lie because your intentions are good. happy i don't really like summer and i'm kinda sad that its already summer here in our country but since there are also fun things to do during summer then i'm okay with it. i was glad that i brought my nephew with me even if his grandmother is totally against it. wink

I think I've done more swimmin in kiddie pools than in adult pools... lol. I babysat my granddaughter all last summer and my daughter bought a fairly good size pool but it was still a kiddie pool and I had the best time every day with her.

hi ctrymuziklvr! sounds you had fun babysitting. happy

I do! The only problem is we have a really small kiddie pool in the nearest resort in our place so it gets dirty easily. I bought my child her own inflatable pool and we do enjoy swimming there. It's tidier that way and we are sure that no urine is in there LOL


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4924)   ranked 10 out of 631 in swimming  7 months ago

lol we can be sure about that. i also wanted to buy an inflatable pool for my nephew and niece but its out of my budget. and actually, we already have a mini pool beside our pump, you know, the "poso". my mother had the pool constructed so that my other nieces and nephew wouldn't have to take a dip in the lake which my mother is always against of.


myLot reputation of 93/100. chrysz (1046)   ranked 67 out of 631 in swimming  7 months ago

Oh yes we have one at home but my lola doesn't want to have a pool beside it because my cousins would only be dipping there the whole day. Some of them catch colds easily that's why my grandmom wants to limit their exposure to water and open air.
I had my eldest inflatable pool 5 years ago, it was on sale in SM Makati and I availed it for only 300 PHP.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4924)   ranked 10 out of 631 in swimming  7 months ago

my 3-year old nephew can easily get sick too. that's why my mother also doesn't allow him to stay too long in the water. it was a good thing he didn't catch anything after our swimming. happy

Hello dear secret bear. I think that you must have had a lot of fun with those kids together in the kiddie swimming pool. I have never been to a kiddie swimming pool, but I have been an adult swimming pool together with my kid and some friends. I do not have to worry about my kid in the swimming pool because they offer lifesaving tires. I love to stay in the water in hot summer, but I am sorry to say that I cannot swim. I could only enjoy staying in the water. lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4924)   ranked 10 out of 631 in swimming  7 months ago

you don't know how to swim?? you're kidding me! lol i've always thought most guys know how to swim. that's just too bad. i think. you should learn how to swim! if you love staying in the water during summer then you have to learn how to swim! otherwise you wouldn't be able to fully enjoy swimming! happy

I often go to kids swimming pool with my five year old, and it is fun. But I prefer to go alone, I like swimming very much. It gives me a sense of freedom, I like to swim very far when I am at the open sea. I guess I am not the type for swimming pools, but since I don't live by the sea anymore, I guess pools are good also.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4924)   ranked 10 out of 631 in swimming  7 months ago

hi natrak! happy i used to love swimming too. i guess the long period of not swimming made me lose interest. but i still enjoy swimming once in a while. but i'm your opposite. i prefer to swim in a pool rather than in the sea. i don't like the hugeness of the sea. it makes me thing i might get lost or something. and i'm kinda afraid of the big waves too. wink

yes its great fun in the kiddies pool,actually its more fun than the adults pool.i always go in with my son,so i can protect other swimmers,lol.its just my son is a real boy and you know how they get when they have fun.noadays with all the slides and fun water fountains,kids just have a great time and i think its healthy for them.cheers sue


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4924)   ranked 10 out of 631 in swimming  7 months ago

hi sue! i think it was a great exercise for my nephew too. but considering that he is such an active boy, what he did in the pool was just like an ordinary thing to him. lol but i also had to watch over him, not to protect the other kids but to protect him. he is so small compared to other kids there.

not in a kiddie pool but on the beach back in the province... always enjoyed watching and playing with my cute little cousins when i was still there... i actually bought an inflatable kiddie pool for them and had my sister bring it home last month... i'll try swimming with them when i go home this may or june... I know it's kinda small but i never had it when i was at their age... hehehe


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4924)   ranked 10 out of 631 in swimming  7 months ago

i never experienced swimming in an inflatable pool too. i think back then only the rich can afford it and middle class families down to the poor saw it as a very extravagant thing.

the kiddie pool is fun! my only reserve about the kiddie pool is a lot of those kids wear diapers or aren't potty trained, lol...that's what chlorine is for, right??

I think this summer we will get one of those little 6" deep pools and let the kids splash in it...we had a sprinkler and man they loved it!

this is the first time i haven't had well water, so it's nice to be able to play with the water.

you are so lucky to live somewhere you can go swimming in april! we'd freeze our butts off if we tried that here, lol:)


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4924)   ranked 10 out of 631 in swimming  7 months ago

ew! we don't have that kind of problem with kiddie pools! children wearing diapers are not allowed! and small children that aren't potty-trained usually are accompanied by an adult or usually too small to go swimming. lol

i guess summer here is earlier than yours. Summer here usually starts at March and ends in April. when summer is there in your place it would be a little rainy here. there would still be people swimming but the swimming craze would go down. happy
