 |
|
Anyone know of any places that offer swimming lessons for women and for children? The women's lessons would have to be private, no men...and preferably in the Mangaf area...but at this point anywhere in Kuwait will do  |

it's called the 'swimming pool complex' north north of marina mall on the sea-side of gulf road

Swimming Pools & Sea-Clubs
Women and families may prefer to go to the facilities operated by TEC, all of which have supervised bathing, swimming pools, cafeterias, shaded areas with tables, showers and changing rooms, gardens and play areas for children, though moderate entry fees are charged.
The Swimming Complex (tel: 562 2600) in Shaab on Arabian Gulf Street contains an Olympic-size pool and a diving pool for youth and adult use only. There is a family section with a beginners' pool and two pools for the under-fives. The complex also has a swimming school and cafeteria as well as a billiards and snooker hall.
The Aqua-Park (tel: 243 1960-3) is beside Kuwait Towers. Its main attractions are the water slide and artificial wave pools. There are also kids pools, as well as restaurants.
TEC runs three sea clubs, Shaab Sea Club (tel: 564 1953), Ras al-Ardh (tel: 574 0977) in Ras Salmiyah, and Fahaheel Marine Club (tel: 372 4073). The clubs have swimming pools, and basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, and amusement halls. Shaab and Ras al-Ardh have bowling alleys, fitness centres, a sauna, a swimming school, and amusement halls. Shaab also has a karate gym, while Ras al-Ardh has table tennis. All three clubs have gardens, each with a theatre and cafeteria. Ras al-Ardh has a billiards hall and a ball room, while Shaab caters to nautical members with a 200-berth anchorage for boats (maximum 15-foot) and related services.
TEC operates three beaches, Messilah Beach (tel: 5650642) just off the Fahaheel Expressway and Oqeilah near Fintas(tel: 3900583), and Fahaheel (tel: 3719496), where bathers are supervised by trained life-guards. These beaches have cafeterias and open theatres. Messilah also has a swimming pool for adults and two for children, as well as children's entertainment such as a spider's web climbing pole and a train.
i hope you're a better esl teacher than you are a basic researcher...... |

So, you feel free to make requests of teachers on an EFL board,you want EFL teachers to do your research for you ( you don't have the time of course ) , plus you make ethno centric , ignorant and parochial comments on other threads on Dave's ESL -- and then you come out with lines like that?
Go back and read "How to Win Friends and Influence People."
