補習校でもお世話になってるあやこさんが、水泳のコーチだったことがわかったのは彼女の帰国間近。最後まで１２人の子供達が週２、週３で教えてもらった。
日本人学校は通年週に１回水泳の授業がある。それなのに、対外試合がないからインター校に比べるとせっかくの水泳の成果を出す場所もないし、モチベーションも上がらない。
ということで、アラタカラをチャイニーズスイミングクラブ（ＣＳＣ）に入会させた。週７日営業で、最低一週間に３日はトレーニングに参加しなければいけない。水泳の前には筋トレもあり、部活に近い。続くといいんだけど。
It's been 8 years since we moved to Penang. Arata couldn't swim at all when we moved here but he is quite good at swimming by now. The problem here is, it's so difficult to find a good coach.
Ayako, who was helping Japanese Saturday school, turned out to be an ex-swimming coach in Japan. Unfortunately we found it out just a month before she was due to go back to Japan for good. Anyway, 12 Japanese kids learned swimming from her intensively, sometimes 3 times a week, in her last 2 months in Penang.
At Penang Japanese School, swimming lessons are scheduled once a week throughout the year. However there is no opportunity to be competitive with other schools etc., which is such a shame as children need motivation to be better.
We decided Aratakara to join Chinese Swimming Club (CSC) with some of the other kids. CSC is open 7 days a week, and as a squad member, they have to attend the training at least 3 days a week. A day's training includes 45 minutes of basic training, it looks like a proper team training.
