00:00Happy April Fool's Day, everybody!
00:03We're going to swim with the kids this morning!
00:07This is fun!
00:08Mommies and Daddies, this is the perfect time for a vacation.
00:13You can bond with your kids.
00:15Just like Uncle Wancho.
00:17Uncle Wancho!
00:20I'm sorry.
00:21Uncle Wancho!
00:23Hi, guys! How are your swimming lessons?
00:26Hey, kids!
00:27Oh, I love kids.
00:28Hi!
00:29They're so cute.
00:32Hi, guys! Good morning from the studio.
00:34The swimming lessons here are fun.
00:37Actually, I'm facilitating a bit in my free time.
00:40But good morning to all of you.
00:43We're still here at an indoor swimming pool facility in Quezon City.
00:48As you can see behind me, the kids are busy with their swimming lessons.
00:54And we have a guest here, our UH Bulilit, Erica Laude.
01:00Erica, come here!
01:02Guys, she's been doing swimming lessons for a while.
01:05Actually, we've seen her improvement.
01:07Hi, Erica!
01:09How are you?
01:10It feels good.
01:12Because I get to swim and I can do the survival content.
01:19You're enjoying it.
01:20What can you say? Is this your first time doing a swimming lesson?
01:23Yes. Actually, in our school, we usually have swimming lessons.
01:28But it was only two sessions.
01:31We've seen your improvement since this morning.
01:34Congratulations!
01:35But you know what, Erica?
01:36Even for me, because I'm a certified dad,
01:40my kids and I do bonding during swimming.
01:44When we go to other beaches or swimming pools,
01:49they really like it.
01:51You know, sometimes I can't take them away from the swimming pool.
01:54But of course, like you said, it's also important for their survival.
01:59So, do you want to swim again?
02:01Yes.
02:02Okay, go ahead and swim.
02:03Go ahead and exercise, Erica.
02:05We'll take care of this.
02:07Bye, Erica. Enjoy!
02:08Enjoy your swimming lesson.
02:11And to learn more about the programs or exercises that our kids do here,
02:18we'll be joined by the COO of this swimming school, Coach Angelo Lozada.
02:24Coach Angelo!
02:25Guys, you know, Coach Angelo is my grandfather.
02:28We also met here earlier.
02:30Yes.
02:31But he's my grandfather.
02:32Coach, how are you?
02:33I'm fine.
02:34Yes.
02:35Too bad, I didn't get to greet you.
02:36Good morning, Padre Salvi.
02:39Good morning.
02:40Anyway, Coach, we can see that there are different levels here.
02:44Yes.
02:45What age do you usually start your swimming lessons?
02:47Actually, we encourage as early as possible here at Bertuzada Swim School.
02:51We want to start as early as six months old.
02:54Okay.
02:55We're doing it progressively.
02:56So, the different levels that we have here at Bertuzada,
03:01actually, we have four levels for the babies.
03:05But yet, to summarize it, the first half of our levels are more for confidence builders.
03:12Okay.
03:13It's a fun way.
03:14That's why you'll see kids there enjoying themselves.
03:18We want it to be a fun way.
03:20Always a fun way.
03:21Because when kids enjoy themselves, they learn faster.
03:23So that they can familiarize themselves and not be afraid of water, right, Coach?
03:27Yes.
03:28So, what are they doing right now?
03:30Even the kids here.
03:32Yeah.
03:33As you can see, we have toys here.
03:35We use the toys to connect with the kids.
03:38But you might think it's just a game.
03:41We use it as an incorporated lesson.
03:44We teach them different skills like hand and eye coordination.
03:49Okay.
03:50Then, we teach them colors.
03:52It's like we're a preschool in the pool here.
03:54They learn different colors and numbers.
03:57That's the confidence builder stage.
03:59Okay.
04:00When they're confident, they go straight to our skills level.
04:04Okay.
04:05So, you'll see kids jumping here.
04:08That's the advanced level, Coach?
04:10Yes, that's the advanced level.
04:11How long does it usually take?
04:12It depends on the kids.
04:14Not all kids are the same.
04:16It depends on their start and their frequency.
04:20Okay.
04:21So, that's what we do.
04:22Okay.
04:23Then, when it's more advanced, we'll go to the bigger kids, right, Coach?
04:28Yes.
04:29For the babies, this is the level.
04:30Confidence builder, skills level.
04:32We also have levels for the kids.
04:34Okay.
04:35This is the four years old and above.
04:37Okay.
04:38Four years old and above.
04:39Let's go here, Coach.
04:40Let's go here, Coach.
04:41We can see Erika.
04:43You said earlier that you saw an improvement in Erika.
04:45Yes.
04:46Erika came earlier.
04:48She hasn't sunk yet.
04:51She hasn't floated yet.
04:53You can see her now because our levels are progressive in the Artosado Swim School.
04:58This is where we teach confidence booster first.
05:02How to hold their breath under the water.
05:04Let's call Erika.
05:06Yes.
05:07We'll just talk to Erika.
05:09But you can see, Coach, even for us, even for Liam.
05:14Liam enrolled for a while and he used the toys.
05:18Ninong Pepper, Coach Pepper is singing.
05:23His confidence was really built even in the swimming pool.
05:26It's also good in the swimming lessons.
05:28We teach rhythm.
05:29Yes.
05:30The singing, they learn rhythm.
05:32And rhythm is everything when it comes to skill development.
05:36That's right.
05:37Erika.
05:38Erika, come here.
05:43Coach Angelo told her that you improved.
05:45What did you say?
05:47And I have really fun here.
05:49Maybe I might imply her for swimming lessons.
05:53Thank you so much for teaching me as well as the other coaches.
05:57Also, what's good with Erika, because a while ago, I saw Erika really wants to learn.
06:03Yes.
06:04Her eyes said, I want to learn this.
06:06That's why learning is fast.
06:07Yes.
06:08Erika's learning is fast.
06:09A while ago, she can swim from this point to the other point.
06:13Yes, as long as there's a desire.
06:14Desire.
06:15Okay.
06:16But here, Coach, there are different levels of learning, right?
06:19Yes.
06:20Or your program.
06:21Yes.
06:22For floating, survival.
06:23Yes.
06:24We started here.
06:25We're teaching first.
06:26Because this is what we're telling all parents.
06:28You can do this at home if you want to teach your child.
06:32Start with the breath holding.
06:35They'll learn to sink first.
06:37Get some air.
06:38Then, go down in a comfortable way.
06:42Again, learning should be a comfortable, fun way.
06:46Because kids, when they're enjoying, learning is fast.
06:50Yes, even adults, Coach.
06:51Yes, even adults also.
06:52So after that, we teach them how to float.
06:56Here, we're teaching them floating.
06:58If you notice, this is their floating right now.
07:01Floating is very important.
07:03Because if you're in the deep, you won't be able to swim.
07:06So that's the foundation of Bertozada Swim School.
07:09We really teach them how to do survival stroke by floating.
07:13Yes, of course.
07:14Because if they float comfortably, they can swim more easily.
07:19Yes.
07:20Then after floating, we teach them to float first, then legs.
07:24Here, we're teaching them how to move their legs.
07:27Okay.
07:28So that they can propel forward.
07:30That's how swimming starts.
07:32Yes.
07:33This is our confidence booster.
07:35This is where we teach them the skills.
07:39This is where we teach them the legs.
07:41Float.
07:42Legs.
07:43After the legs, as you can see, this is where they do their lessons.
07:48They kick with the board.
07:53Usually, Coach, how long before they become competitive?
07:58For us, on an average,
08:02as long as it's continuous,
08:04they'll be able to compete after 30 lessons.
08:0930 lessons.
08:10Three enrollments on an average.
08:12How many times per week?
08:14Our advice is to do it at least three times a week.
08:17Three times a week.
08:18It's like a school.
08:19It's like a school.
08:20But if you can do it every day, it's like summer now.
08:22Rather than staying at home, go out,
08:25do activities.
08:26Like Erica.
08:27I told her,
08:28Erica, just keep going.
08:30By June, you'll be able to compete.
08:32That's true, Coach.
08:33And of course, this season,
08:35we noticed that it's getting hot.
08:37It's getting a bit late now, right?
08:39Yes.
08:40But it's the pool season.
08:42It's the Tampizaw season.
08:43What other advice do you have for those who are still thinking of enrolling?
08:47Okay.
08:48For those who want to enroll,
08:49the first thing we say,
08:51especially for small babies,
08:53make bath time really enjoyable.
08:56Because our start,
08:58usually, those who are afraid of our swimming lessons,
09:00at the beginning,
09:01even if we notice it,
09:03if we ask them,
09:04they didn't enjoy their bath time.
09:06That's why the first swim lesson is really during bath time.
09:10Then afterwards, remember,
09:12swimming or any learning should be fun.
09:16It should have a structure of fun component.
09:19So that it's easier to learn.
09:21Anyone, even adults.
09:22Me, Coach.
09:23What will you start with me?
09:24Oh, gosh.
09:25It's been a long time.
09:27In the making.
09:28In the making.
09:29It's been a long time.
09:30That's our next.
09:32Thank you so much, Coach Angelo.
09:34Ninong,
09:35I enjoyed it.
09:36Of course, I learned a lot.
09:38My dear,
09:39don't think about it.
09:40Just do it.
09:41Just enroll in the swim lessons.
09:43And of course, there are different pools around the area.
09:46Yes.
09:47There are many different,
09:48anywhere.
09:49We're there.
09:50What we're doing is to make it convenient.
09:53Because swimming should be learned by anyone.
09:55Yes.
09:56And everyone as well.
09:57Everyone should be able to swim.
09:58Thank you again, Coach.
09:59Oh, gosh.
10:00We still have a lot to do here.
10:01I'll swim first, my dear.
10:03But first,
10:04we'll be back.
10:05It's just here.
10:06In your weekly morning show.
10:07First, guys.
10:08Let's swim.
10:21Wait!
10:22Wait! Wait! Wait!
10:24Wait!
10:25Don't close it yet.
