Mommy and Me Swimming at Victor E Benstead Plunge
This Monday was our first Mommy and me swimming class at Victor E Benstead Plunge in Torrace. I had signed up last week online for a two weeks term of Mommy and Me class offered by the city of Torrance at the public swimming pool. The class will be held daily for two weeks, from 8/18 to 8/29. Each class is only 25 minutes long, from 11:15am to 11:40am. The pool is an Olympic size pool that has been divided into three sections and it holds three different classes at the same time.
Yesterday was our first class. Brandon didn’t like the water much initially. We sat by the pool to prepare to go in, but he wanted to leave already. And once inside the pool, he crabbed me so tightly and didn’t want to let go. The 4 young school age instructors are friendly but we didn’t receive any personal attention from them. It was fine with me as it may terrify Brandon if they come too near anyway. We were told that each day will be a new skill learned. Kicking in the water was our skill for that day.
Brandon began to enjoy the class when he knows how to kick. It was not that bad, but the moment we were into the class, the lifeguard gave us a horn to let us know is time to get off the pool. WOW … that’s a short 25 minutes I thought. Everyone was out of the pool and moving into the Women’s changing area. There are only 3 bathrooms. I didn’t bother to bath, just change and we left. I gave him a bath only when we got home.
We will be there again today at 11am. We’ll see what new skill we will learn this morning.
Nice activity for mother and child… he’s sure to eat and nap well after that exercise.

[…] This morning I woke up and felt a litle adventurous. I vacuumed the bedroom very thoroughly. Usually is my Hubby’s job to vacuum but I know there are places that he didn’t get into. Actually it started when I was doing laundry. Upon clearing up the laundry basket, I noticed two silverfishes in the basket. That got me started with all the vacuuming the bedroom. There are many areas of the carpet that has dust accumulated as high as a high rise building from a dust’s point of view. Such as behind the desktop on the floor, behind the laundry baskets, the side and behind the night stands and underneath the bed. I got most of the places vacuumed except under the bed. Will get to that if I have the time in the afternoon. So tired now … sitting here resting while typing this post. Still got laundry to finish up. Then need take my son to swimming lesson. Very busy lately especialy with the daily swimming class. […]
