A swimming lesson in Nguéniène is 45 minutes in the pool of a leisure park, in a Petite Côte village about fifteen kilometres from Saly and Somone. The option is at a flat rate, and booking in advance is advised.

A 45-minute pool lesson, at a flat rate

The swimming lesson lasts 45 minutes, at a flat rate, in the pool of a leisure park. The price is therefore for the session rather than per person, which suits a family or a small group swimming together. Booking in advance is advised.

The lesson is held in the pool of a leisure park: a family-friendly setting that lets you combine a swim with a day out inland. Forty-five minutes suit a first time, whether you want to learn the basics, regain confidence in the water or polish a stroke. A pool away from the shore is a change from the coast’s beaches: you swim without swell or current, at your own pace. Bring a swimsuit and a towel.

If you live on the Petite Côte, it is a lesson to fit into a weekend, in a calm setting away from the beach. If you are staying in Saly or Somone, it is an activity that makes a change from the beach and that you can combine with an outing inland.

Nguéniène, another Senegal fifteen kilometres from Saly

Nguéniène is a village on the Petite Côte, about fifteen kilometres from Saly and Somone. It is the Senegal of baobabs, millet granaries and herds crossing the track at dawn, far from the resort sunloungers. The village is best experienced on a Wednesday, the day of the louma, its big weekly market, described on the page Nguéniène and its market.

Extending the day

A swimming lesson can be followed by a visit to the market on louma day, or by a family outing: animal leisure parks and family days and children’s outings go in that direction. The Somone lagoon is another nature outing from the coast.
