By naokal

Hi, I would love to be able to take my toddler swimming, once or twice per week...But as a muslim would need an all womens group...

Also as I work full time it will have to be late afternoon/saturdays/fridays....

Anyone know of anything like this that is available?

I know its a long shot but ut would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Log on to www.aspire.qa , and click on aspire active, its a very informative site has all the year round activites for Men women & children[ from 6months onwards].

When I checked , they did say the childrens courses stop end May,

 

Hope this will be useful.

The american instructor replied and said she charges 200 riyals per lesson/hr...but she said if there was a group we could divide it between the group...however she does not have access to a pool and nor do I...

So if there are some people interested and have access to a pool (ladies only) and would be interested in doing this in the late afternoons/evening or saturdays then I would be up for it and maybe we could arrange something...

Thanks

There is a good Swimming Instructer in the Oasis Bech Hotel , but I am not sure about the current situation because of the road works going on near the hotel.

life saving skills.... means saving their own life .. others call it drowning prevention program

 

I am looking for a swim club that teaches this to toddlers. I want to enroll my kid on it.
