Anyone?

I will teach you to swim. If you bring some commitment, and pay my entry fee for the pool, I'll teach you. Just wait until KNY is over, as I'll be punishing my body, then my liver.

Thanks. This is really nice of you. It is okay i will pay for the entry fee.

Done deal. VIP or Phnom Penh sports club would work. Unless you prefer somewhere else?

Thank. I think Phnom Penh sport club is the best choice as it is close to my place.

OK, I know it's a stupid idea, but.
I know there would be a demand for a swimming pool that teaches kids to swim.

I know it does not cost a lot of $$$ to pour a slab of concrete, and have brick walls a metre high them have them plastered with a water resistant coating and have them painted.
A filtration system and ozone treatment system would be the most expensive part of the project, along with a lease agreement for a bit of land.
And when I say land , I am referring to places outside of the PP city and I will use Takhmau as an example where there plenty of vacant land.

All that is needed is someone to put forward the project through swimming clubs or surf clubs [ in Australia ] to raise some funds and have someone from those clubs or life saving clubs come on over to Cambodia to teach our kids to swim.

So what is there stopping a project like this going ahead. It will not be from lack of students cause I'm willing to pay for 6 kids.
To those of you who are sick of teaching English and working for someone else, here's your chance to have a real cool job that does not require you to wear a tie all day.

Um... there are tons of pools in PP that offer swimming lessons.
