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. 

My learning kids and their friends

Hi! 

My son is to the right with his friend and second cousin to the left

These are my kids and their friends!  My children are eight years old and five years old, soon six. They moved with me from Sweden to Tunisia in august 2011. Their father is living in Sweden. As I am very concerned with their future I teach them daily about life in many aspects. The first thing is about school: mathematics, languages, science. The second thing that I try to teach them is about how to behaive in life and why. So why am I writing? Just to share some of my ideas with you. They attend school every day, six times a week and they are also active in some sports. I teach them when I find some time.
