Physical activity in Tunisia

When I moved here to Tunisia, I search for a long time to find an activity thay fit my children. We found karate, gymnastics, soccer and swimming. We tried karate for a week, but they were so harsh with the children that I wanted my money back. The gymnastics, as seen above, is full of girls. Every boy that attend these classes are so few that they do not feel comfortable. My daughter however loves to go to the gymnastics every week. She can't attend all three classes but at least she go once a week. She pays 15 TND every month (about 7 Euros or 9 $) and she is happy. 


They both like to swim, and not far from this place in Marsa you can find the swimming bath of Oussama Mellouli (أسامة الملولي), champion olympique et world champion of 1 500 meters freestyle in Beijing, China in 2008 and in Rome in 2009. Every time we enter the big house we see a picture of him swimming. The teachers there are very good, if not excellent. They are amongst the best I have seen, teaching children how to swim and the children advance very quickly. My two kids are already in the second group after only six months.
