After being a little upset that my daughter hasnt been able to go swimming for weeks, firstly due to illness then due to pool being broken, I decided to look into the Marbella Municipal Swimming Pool.
I have heard a few bad things about it plus everyone tells me that if you want your kid to do swimming lessons - they are full up and always a waiting list. Well me being me, decided to check it out for myself and hear it from the horses mouth.
Ok, So the swimming pool is an indoor pool. Its a little difficult to understand the timetable....very confusing, however families can go at the weekend between 10 and 1.45 Saturdays and Sundays.
Now, heres the weird part, you have to pay in advance, either by paying into the bank account given or you can go there monday to friday and pre book. Very cheap and even cheaper with Empadron. I got my Empadron a few months back so swimming at the weekend for 2 adults and 1 child has cost me the grande total of..... 5€uros.
Now you have to buy the ticket in advance and its only for 1 hour....but thats long enough. Also best to call them before hand incase there are competitions on...like this saturday.
Then the swimming lessons....I asked about lessons / classes....I was told that my daughter had to go on the waiting list. But when I got talking to him and he understood that actually my daughter can swim and swim pretty well......guess what....I got a space!!! Twice a week for 45 mins 11€uros for the month. So Im very very happy, now I just need my daughter to go there and swim in a Spanish speaking lesson....this is a child who has just started a dance class outside of school.
Fingers Crossed!!!
