Took a moment this morning, during prep time, to note "What Made Me Smile" this week 😊

It brings me much joy to see my little learners smile at the pool

It's not unusual for some to feel anxious after a long break from swimming. Some may cry...

Usually, with some fun and songs, we start to see their little smiles again

The sun is finally back out 🌞
Looking forward to seeing all my little ones back in the pool 🏊‍♀️

I always get the question, what swim suit can I buy to keep my little one warm in the pool?
Especially in the recent weather

For the little one:
Thermal swim wear, neoprene 2.5mm

Where to buy:
Sun Splashes on Lazada (they've got good reviews & have sold 100s). I find that they have been the most reasonably priced

Considerstions:
- Buy a good fit
- There's no need to spend too much. Kids grow out of clothes so quickly
- Make sure it is at least 2.5mm neoprene
- As a plus, have UPF UV protection

For parents accompanying the child into the pool:
- A long sleeve rashguard over swimsuit is usually sufficient for the short time frame

Where to buy:
There are so many options

For me, my usual go-tos are lululemon, decathlon, TSLA on Amazon

Consideration:
Fit & comfort
Functional & affordable TSLA .sg

Time for fun splashes in the pool!
