Dingdong also confirmed that Zia did, indeed, join Bert Lozada's First Plunge Swim Meet event. The Bert Lozada Swim School (BLSS) is known to be the country's leading swim school.

In another post from Dingdong, he shared a photo of Z praying and quoted Father Ferriols, SJ, “Lundagin Mo Beybe.”

Of course, Zia's hands-on mom Marian wouldn't forget to post an entry of her own. On the Kapuso actress' Instagram feed, she shared photos and videos of Zia at the swim meet and wrote in her caption, “Words can't express how proud I am of my daughter's incredible swimming accomplishments! She just won a total of 6 medals in the competition and I couldn't be happier.”

“Thank you, God, for showering us with these blessings! Huge thanks to Coach Angelo and Coach Miguel for their dedication and hard work in training Zia. #BlessedBeyondMeasure,” Marian further thanks.

In the videos, one can spot how fast Zia swims! She even won first place in the 25m backstroke competition and 25m freestyle competition.

The comments section is filled with congratulatory messages for the talented little girl and some even said that she owes it to her mom Marian who, in the past, took on the role of a young mermaid named Dyesebel.

Congratulations, Zia!
