Fun in the deep end!

Should I or shouldn't I?

Don't think it will fit, Uncle!

COSI kids enjoying their "swimming pool" in Cambodia!

Most COSI kids can sort of swim as they have a natural swimming pool near the Orphanage - a nearby river. For those of us who are used to modern pools, it can be a little daunting to plunge into water that looks like brown milk tea. I was invited to jump in once when I was in Cambodia but politely declined.

Therefore it was such a thrill for the Teens to have a swim at HG Condo after English class today. It was very nice too to have Mrs P join us for lunch and to spend the afternoon. The rain that lasted the whole morning thankfully cleared and it made for a beautiful afternoon to swim in crystal clear chlorinated water with no fishes and other debris in it.

I had a great time teaching the kids how to float, hold their breath and for the more advanced swimmers, the finer points of proper kicking and free style strokes. They still haven't learn to breath yet but nevertheless, we had a ball splashing and having pots of fun in the deep end.
