I'm sure you've heard of Hwa Xia BabySpa right? It's got many outlets islandwide. Warm water bath tub.

Where do you live? There's AquaBambinos at Serangoon Gardens too. It's warm water pool.

Could be a lot of reasons. Is this the same swimming pool as the first time? Possible reasons could be size of pool, temperature of water, noise, no. of people, splashing of water, etc. Is your daughter a timid child? My older girl always took a lot of time to get accustomed to things, and I usually had to introduce things slowly. You can try going at a quieter time, and let her get used to the water slowly, eg. just letting her dip her feet, then hands etc.

Hi Jetsetter,


Yeah heard of pass by many time also buy never try before. Maybe should try one.
I am staying at Seragoon area. Thanks for the links it really good. Might be sending my daughter for swimming lesson.

Hi Slmkhoo,

Nah is different. The first time no people and no noise. Very quiet environment.
High chance is the cold water and noise and splashing of water. Haha yeah she
Is quite a timid girls. Yeah will follow your steps I think that will help a lot.
