Chapter 438 Swimming Pool
They did what they said. In the afternoon, Lin Yuzhu and Zhao Yanshu took Shuyao and Yanchi to the department store to buy swimsuits.
Then they went to a swimming pool in Beijing together.
Because it was winter, not many people came to swim even indoors. After the mother and daughter changed into their swimsuits and came out, they saw Zhao Yanshu and his son waiting outside awkwardly in their swimming trunks.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuzhu walked over and asked.
Zhao Yanshu shook his head, his eyes a little evasive, "No, nothing, I just think there are too many people."
Lin Yuzhu was surprised to hear this. "Are there many people?"
She looked into the swimming pool and saw that there were only five other people besides them, three men and two women. They all looked very professional, especially the woman who swam particularly well.
Although Lin Yuzhu didn't understand, she thought her swimming posture was very beautiful, like a fish.
Lian Shuyao stared with her eyes wide open, as if there were stars in them. Seeing this, Lin Yuzhu hurriedly led them over.
However, after reaching the swimming pool, they did not jump into the water immediately. The whole family is not good at swimming and would not be able to swim even if they got in.
She had asked when she came in and found out that there were two lifeguards in the swimming pool and they also taught swimming.
Lin Yuzhu saw a man walking around with a lifebuoy, so she walked over and asked, and after learning that he was one of the lifeguards, she wanted to ask him to teach Shuyao how to swim.
The man's surname was Li. He was originally a professional swimmer. He was assigned to work here after retiring. When he heard Lin Yuzhu's request, he called another female comrade over.
"Let Xiao Duan teach her. Xiao Duan is also a retired professional swimmer and is more suitable to teach girls."
Lin Yuzhu was even more surprised when she heard this, "That's great, thank you Coach Duan."
Coach Duan is not very old, probably in her early twenties. She has a tall and straight figure and muscular arms, showing that she has been exercising for many years. The one who swam so beautifully just now was her.
When she was asked to teach, Shuyao's eyes lit up and she looked particularly happy.
Coach Duan smiled when he saw her like this, "Oh, this kid is in good shape. How old is he? Has he learned to swim before?"
Lin Yuzhu shook her head. "She's 8 years old and has never learned how to swim. We just found out that she might be suitable for swimming, so we wanted her to learn first."
"Oh?" Coach Duan was surprised. "How did you know?"
After all, in this era, most families don’t have someone involved in sports, so people won’t pay special attention to this. She just saw that the couple looked rather thin and didn’t look like athletes.
Lin Yuzhu explained: "It was the coach at the sports school who said that she had long arms and legs and flat feet. We didn't understand, so we wanted to learn first."
Coach Duan understood, "No wonder, then why didn't you send her directly to the sports school? That way she wouldn't have to spend extra money to come and learn, there would be teachers there to teach her."
Lin Yuzhu smiled and did not hide it. "The main reason is that we don't know much about her situation. She has never swam before, and we don't know if she likes it. If she doesn't like it, it would be a waste of time. Also, we heard that life in a sports school is a bit hard, so we are a little reluctant to let her go."
Coach Duan nodded and said, "You are right. There are not many parents like you who respect their children's ideas. Many parents think that their children are still young and don't understand, so they just listen to them.
Little do people know that interest is the most important thing. If you don’t like it, you won’t study hard and you won’t get any results.”
