He is an old guy experienced and will take the kid step by step getting the hand and leg movements right for each stroke. The best however has got to be Wainaina at YMCA. He is also the acquatic director at the international school. He will make a plan for the kid, teach them all the strokes correctly and keep a log of their progress. If you want the kids to learn not just how to swim but also the discipline it takes to be a competitive athlete this is the guy to go to. He is a nice guy and if you talk to him he can help you push your children beyond their comfort levels to discover something special in themselves. Remember to learn how to swim correctly is an investment in time. I would say plan something like 2 or 3 hours a week for 12 to 16 weeks consistently. Sio kuangalia nje, see it is sunny then say lets go swimming, then the next time you go is 3 weeks later then one month later, Noooooooooooooo hiyo ni katapatapa majini and not swimming. There are also guys at Kasarani who are good instuctors. Bei ndiyo sijui but I can imagine it is something that is negotiable with each instuctor. Go for it Chemos. It is a good thing you are doing for your kids.

At 9 now, she has won several trophies in national galas & she enjoys the sport. It keeps her fit & sober even in academics. @guk, am a mistress of this game...holla
