インターハイ出場経験のあるミドリ先生がほしい！とりあえず春休みは水泳強化期間として、ありとあらゆる先生に稽古をつけてもらった。
改めて、ペナンにはこれと言った先生がいないことを実感したが、幸運なことに、親子留学で１０日ほど滞在したそばちゃん先生は元インターハイ選手。彼女には２度ほどトレーニングしてもらった。また駐在員で元水泳部のハナエさんとも一緒に泳いでもらう。
そんなこんなで、短期間で以外と上達したのがタイでのフォビシアの結果かもしれない。クロールや平泳ぎだったら、上手な子も多くて無理だったと思うけど、マイナーな泳法だからライバルも少なかった。でも、あんなに水泳嫌いだったのに、水泳好きかもと言いだし、もっと練習すると言っている。
Takara hadn't been good as Arata in swimming for a long time. But he had to swim the butterfly and the back strokes as well as individual medley for FOBISIA.
We really wanted to have Midori sensei to help him again. But anyway, I've decided to devote boys' spring holidays to swimming trainings and asked around whoever available to coach Aratakara.
Luckily we got to know Sobachan sensei, who was in Penang only for 10 days with her kids attending an English camp. She was an ex-high school representative in swimming for Gumma prefecture. I begged her to come to train boys and she happily did it twice during her stay. I also asked Hanae-san, who was an AT client and an ex-serious swimmer for his school, to train them.
Probably these small efforts bore fruit. The results from Thailand FOBISIA were better than we thought. Of course, Takara only participated the strokes which are not so competitive, but this experience changed Takara's perspective on swimming. He is more confident now and has said he wants to practice more.
