Can you swim ?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

It's only the ones at the bottom of the river that would disagree.

I am thinking to take swimming lesson to improve my swimming skill. Are there any places providing swimming lessons with reasonable price?

Maybe around 40 $ at Youth Sport Club, but you have to charge for entering, 5$ per time. I think it's around 100$ till you can swim.

i really have no idea for how much to offer as i have never taken swimming class before. However, if it is less than or just 50 usd per month it would be fine for me.

It's Toul Sangkei area, maybe far from your house. But the coach is very great! He could teach two children to swim very well even only their first of lesson. I want to start my lesson soon too, but I'm still stuck. I have his number. If you want it I'll send you his number.

I can teach anyone to swim (stay afloat and move in the direction you want) in around 5 hours, maybe less with a confident person.

Different strokes and finer points, a month.
