How learning to swim can become your favorite subject
Scenario 1: Remember what subject you hated most in school?

Gradually over time, you tend to hate the subject and wishes the day would never come or wishing that the teacher could be replaced by someone else? You didn’t like the subject in your growing up years cos of the bad experience you had and you felt demoralised.
Scenario 2: You started your lesson with fun learning and could able to cope well. Your teacher could identify your problem and give you proper guidance and ensuring that you do it well.
