At Whitley Bay Islamic Cultural Centre (WBICC), we are dedicated to providing opportunities for women in our community to lead active and healthy lifestyles. One of the ways we do this is by organizing women’s swimming sessions at Tynemouth Pool. These sessions have grown significantly since their inception, from a group of 15-30 women to now over 50 women attending regularly.
The women’s swimming sessions take place every Saturday from 1:15pm to 2:15pm. During this time, the pool is closed to men, creating a safe and welcoming environment for women to swim and exercise without feeling uncomfortable or self-conscious. Our sessions are open to women of all ages and abilities, and we encourage everyone to join us.
At WBICC, we understand that some women may feel uncomfortable swimming in mixed-gender environments. We believe that creating a space where women can feel comfortable and at ease is essential to encouraging participation in physical activity. Our women’s swimming sessions offer an opportunity for women to exercise in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
We have worked closely with Body Benefits and Active North Tyneside to organize these women’s swimming sessions. By collaborating with these organizations, we have been able to provide a high-quality experience for all participants. We are grateful for their support in helping us to create a safe and inclusive space for women to swim and exercise.
In addition to providing a safe and comfortable environment, our women’s swimming sessions also offer a great way to socialize and connect with other women in the community. We believe that creating opportunities for women to come together and support one another is an important part of building a strong and connected community. Many of the women who attend our sessions have formed lasting friendships and continue to support each other in their fitness journeys outside of the pool.
We are incredibly proud of the growth that our women’s swimming sessions have seen over the years. Starting with a small group of women, we have been able to create a community of over 50 women who come together each week to support each other and lead active and healthy lifestyles. We hope to continue growing and expanding our programs to provide even more opportunities for women in our community to get involved and stay active.
In conclusion, if you are a woman looking for a safe and welcoming environment to swim and exercise, we encourage you to join us at the Whitley Bay Islamic Cultural Centre’s women’s swimming sessions at Tynemouth Pool. Our sessions occur every Saturday from 1:15pm to 2:15pm and offer an opportunity to meet new people, build friendships, and lead a healthy and active lifestyle. We are proud to work with Body Benefits and Active North Tyneside to create a high-quality experience for all participants. We look forward to welcoming you in!
