Introduction

 

In today’s episode, from the #swim4akhirah campaign, Coach Ola, Carly, and Shanay will dive deep into water safety. They will also discuss how muslim mothers can incorporate swimming into their lives. Tune in for this interesting talk, with your favorite drink, and enjoy!

 

Summary and Key Takeaways

 

Overall, there are many hurdles to being a muslim woman especially living in the Western world. With our knowledge and efforts we want to make it easier for muslim ladies to swim and feel comfortable and happy doing so. Mothers are also included in this goal! Water safety is of critical importance for everyone as well.

 

Here are some key takeaways:

 

~Community centers could consider giving muslim ladies exclusive pool time.

 

~The CDC reports that ages 1-4 are the highest risk so water safety should be prioritized. 

 

~Learning how to swim is a recommended sunnah!

 

~Even if lifeguards are present you should always be near your children.

 

~Children should always be taught to ask permission to go to the pool/water.

 

~Life-vests should be strongly considered for all youth and adults unable to swim.

 

~Always swim with a buddy!

 

~Four-sided fencing should be placed around all bodies of water near your home especially if you have children. (ex: pools/hot tubs/koi fish ponds etc.)

 

~Get proper swim classes/education from instructors like Coach Ola! You could also take Coach Ola’s swimming course by clicking here.

 

Conclusion

 

Thank you for joining us! Remember to stay safe while swimming. The fact that swimming is a sunnah should prove to be motivational to us all. Overall, consider getting swimming classes or taking a swimming course to stay as safe as possible. Have a lovely week ahead!
