Tuesday Swimming??

[bAaM]

I am going to start taking the kids swimming on tuesday arvo's around 3pm and teach them how to swim.

I was wondering if anyone would like to join me? Its cheaper then lessions and i know the basics.

Im keen if it is heated and indoor til it warms up....

[mumma2bella]

Im keen too.. like meggs said.. as long as its heated until it gets hotter :)

[bAaM]

Heated pool it is, i dont know where any pools here are (i havent been to any) so where is best to go??

I want to start next week.

Hi Girls,

I'm pretty sure the only heated pool in Townsville is Glen Buchanan, and it is not a public pool... its for private swimming lessons only.

I think Long Tan pool has a smaller pool for those learning to swim, but it isn't heated.

There is a new indoor one at riverside gardens so ill see if that works... surely there would be more than one...

[bAaM]

I have a friend that used to be a swimming teacher so i have messaged her.

I will get back to you guys when i hear from her.

[mumma2bella]

Okay cool, let me know the details and i will be there... surely there must be a heated pool somewhere *looks around* we will find one :)

long tan small pool is heated- josh had his swimming lessons there earlier this year-

i know kokoda swimming pool- for when its hotter- is always quiet and fairly cheap

[bAaM]

Ok so there a few options just tell me which one suits??

1. Long Tan pool off fulham rd. (heated)
2. the strand pool (heated)
3. Kirwan pool the one with the slide (not sure if heated)

[bAaM]

Hope where is the kokoda pool??

[WarriorMummy]

its just near anderson park- the same rd the ambulance station is on

its not heated- but would be good for when its warmer and its possible for me to make it there-i could walk

The only concern I have is going to an outdoor pool. The sun is pretty brutal up here and my boys arent used to it (esp whitey Jett lol) and I will be heading into the 2nd trimester, we might have to give it a miss so none of us get burned or heat stroke :)

[WarriorMummy]

i dont think its outside Anna- i think they are making it an indoor one:)

I wont be taking Miss E anywhere that isnt covered even by a shade....I know the strand one has a shade over the baby pool...
