Have you heard of Dugongs?

Funny, that's how our coach called us when we were thrown into the pool. The good part of the story is that through its evolution, Dugongs can turn into professional life-guards!


I also believe that it is not easy being a Dugong's trainer... You really have to have a big bike and that macho look!! This is our young and energetic swimming coach. His real dream is to get a new pair of riding boots (SIDI for sure) and perhaps a cool helmet... (Shark brand, to really make an impact...)..

Well, in the first three sessions, we learnt how to look professionals! Simple rules...
1) Dress like one, complete with tight pants, pro-wet shirt, good looking head cover, good goggles. You are forgiven for the first session.... you can dress half naked..topless.
2) Jump into the pool like a professional, stay a bit longer under the water..
3) Do repeated "bubblings.. bubbles!" breath by mouth, blow by nose..if you breath by nose, blow by mouth, you will dry up the pool..
4) Jump up the edge of the pool successfully from the bottom of the pool...sit quietly, checking attention... like how you park your big bike :-), alway check as if there is something wrong with the bike.. and shake your head.. for sure you get attention one..
5) Lift up the goggles and look around...
6) Make sure you are in the adult pool..otherwise, you look really stupid :-)

7) Sometimes, the floats can tell that you are the beginners....

Halim said, RM5 head cover does make a different!!! But that does not mean you can swim correctly yet... :-) Wait aa...after 12 months, we will show you our V-shaped body. Then, if we are lucky, we will get the offer to advertise for Old Spice re-run.. Meantime, we will get Halim a new V-engine for his new power-plant bike..:-)
