Looks like we have a future Kapuso Olympian here! Go, Baby Skye Anakin!

Kapuso actor Pancho Magno is one proud dad as he shared photos and videos of his future Olympian, Baby Skye Anakin.

Pancho shared a couple of adorable photos and a video of him and Baby Skye enjoying their time together in a swimming pool.

Baby Skye Anakin can be seen slapping the water and learning how to breathe underwater while dressed in a super cute Nemo costume.

The doting father captioned the video: “Future Olympian Breathing underwater lessons with his Ate Atemila

In an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com last year, Pancho shared that one of the things that he most looks forward to doing with Baby Skye Anakin is swimming.

He said he wants to teach his son how to swim, just like how his father taught him when he was younger.

Pancho said, “Na-enjoy namin 'yung pregnancy itself, but post-pregnancy, ito na 'yung spending time with the baby outside, doon kami medyo nahihirapan.

“Four months na si Skye e, so sana alam mo 'yun, sana makapag-beach man lang kami or makapuntang Tagaytay, ganyan.

“Gusto niya lagi asa labas e, kaya doon kami [nalulungkot] na hindi kami makalabas because of the pandemic. Pero siguro 'yon talaga. After this pandemic--and I hope soon, very soon--maibato ko siya sa beach.

“Kasi ganun ginagawa ng dad ko kaya naging swimmer ako. Baby pa lang ako hinahagis niya ko sa pool or sa beach. So, natuto ako mag-swim at a young age. So, gusto ko rin gawin kay Skye.”

Although the pandemic is not yet over, Pancho has fortunately been given the chance to check off this item on his bucket list, as he has now spent time swimming with Baby Skye Anakin.

Baby Skye Anakin's mom, Max Collins, also gave one of the photos a heart comment on Instagram, seemingly agreeing with Pancho's statement that Baby Skye is indeed a water baby.
