Re: Can you swim ?
The swimming club over by toul kork offers it.
The one by the russian market offers it.
Not sure about any others... the only reason I know these do is because a) my wife attended one. and b) they were teaching it while i was swimming in the other pool at the other.
Honestly I suspect they all offer it, but that you have to actually ask about it... and probably in khmer. speaking khmer may also be needed for taking the class, as the instructor may not speak english.

One more, we also were told that if we ate the tail of the fish we would be able to swim.StroppyChops wrote:Seems scientific, must be legit.Birdy wrote:Ask any Khmer kids who live by the river and they will say that Mum and Dad told them if you eat the end of the sugar cane(the sour bit) then you will be able to swim,no lessons required.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។
If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

But it's fresh-water fish for swimming in the river, and salt-water fish for swimming in the ocean, right?Samouth wrote:One more, we also were told that if we ate the tail of the fish we would be able to swim.StroppyChops wrote:Seems scientific, must be legit.Birdy wrote:Ask any Khmer kids who live by the river and they will say that Mum and Dad told them if you eat the end of the sugar cane(the sour bit) then you will be able to swim,no lessons required.

Re: Can you swim ?
There are so many things that older people told us to do and not to do which were all wrong but for disciplining reason. i think i should write about them to share with you guys.

Wow, sorry Stroppy Chop that i kept you waiting for so long.StroppyChops wrote:Please do! Parental discipline always leads to interesting discussion.Samouth wrote:i think i should write about them to share with you guys.
Here are some false belief what they used to discipline us
1. They tell us to eat the end of sugar cane, so that we would be able to swim and also the tail of the fish. They teach us to respect old people and keep good stuff for them.
2. They tell us not to eat rich in the pot or rice cooker, as it would make us not to go further or would not be upgraded at school. They teach us to eat properly. Eating rice in the pot or rice cooker doesn't look good.
3. They tell us not to eat chicken or duck eggs there didn't hatch as it would make us not to go further or would not be upgraded at school. They don't want us to eat that egg because it is not healthy.
I think little salary might have something more to add. I will write more if i can think of other.

Re: Can you swim ?
Today i watched some swimming matches in london olympics 2012. it turned out that Americans are good swimmers. They are really really good. i wonder how many percent of American who can not swim.
