Berenang merupakan satu senaman yang sangat bagus untuk mereka yang ada penyakit athma. Ia juga merupakan latihan yang berguna bagi mengawal pernafasan dan juga membuka paru-paru kita. Dan bagi mereka yang tak mengetahui berenang juga boleh jadikan kita lebih tinggi terutama dengan renang cara 'freestyle'

Berkongsi tips di Instagram, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar mengajar anak-anaknya berenang sejak di usia 6 bulan manakala beliau dan adik beradiknya berenang sejak usia 3 tahun lagi.

 

Pic - Swimming time for the twins. I have always believed swimming is the best form of exercise out there . Knowing we have family history of asthma and to avoid that , my dad introduced us to swimming at the age of 3 and we brothers became competitive swimmers representing our states . It expands your lungs at a very young age preventing us from developing asthma , it does make you grow tall as us brothers are all 6 footer and it doesn’t cause injury due to the buoyancy. Hence that’s the reason why I start all my children with swimming starting from 6 months .... My advice - start them very young and teach them all the 4 strokes as they grow . There’s so much benefits in swimming ... Have A Great Saturday Everyone ... PS - For babies start them at 6 months till they become comfortable in the water . But safety comes first and make sure you are in the water with them at all times ... Love As Always .

Video - Bella tasted her first failure in life and cried ....! Bella has won many medals for her effort from TaeKwanDo, Math & English Kumon , being the best Chinese spelling in her Chinese School and had never tasted failure before ... so this was very traumatising for her . I entered Bella her 1st swimming competition about a month ago and she was in last place ! She was competing with 9 and 10 year olds for girls under 10 as that’s the youngest event they had . The fact that she was 6 then and completed the event made me even proud as a parent. Soon after we noticed she was quiet and in tears after her swim which made my heart melt . I gave her a big hug and said it’s okay but you must work harder . It’s important to instil the desire to win to your child . The competitiveness in them will make them work hard for success . There’s no shortcut to it . Children must learn to tackle losses . Failure is good but they must work hard to overcome them and try again and again and again ... It will surely makes them a better and stronger person . Since then Bella has improved tremendously in her swimming with laps after laps . I have enrolled her in a swimming club 4 times a week to make her more competitive. And she enjoys every minute of it . I truly admired her guts and grit to succeed . InsyaAllah someday she will win a medal for her effort . And it’s important for the child to win for themselves and not for their parents . And most importantly they must enjoy and having fun .... Have A Great Monday Everyone ...😀
