My son’s first swimming experience

Last July 2, 2010, my baby had his first swimming experience. We went to our subdivision's clubhouse because we heard that it is newly renovated. Initially I wanted to go to "Club Manila East" which is just 15 minutes away from our house but thinking that my baby will only be able to swim at most 1 hour, we decided to go the clubhouse instead. Luckily, we had the pool all to ourselves because it was a weekday. We did not have work that day because it is Pasig Day. We had a fun filled family bonding day!
