Swimming Lessons

Thank you for expressing interest in our private women’s swim classes in partnership with Foss Swim School - Burnsville! We’re excited to announce that registration for the Summer 2026 term is now officially open — and we’d love for you to join us!

More Than Swim Lessons

Learning how to swim is not just a personal goal. It is a life-saving skill. Many Muslim women have not had access to a private and comfortable space where they can learn how to swim. Yet women are often mothers, caregivers, and the people responsible for keeping their families safe around water.

That is why Maangaar Voices and FOSS Swim School are bringing back private swim lessons created with Muslim women in mind.

This is a space to learn, build confidence, and feel supported every step of the way
