Pool Culture Is Both A Time Based Need And A Reasonable Want

Pool Culture is heavenly Culture, so let heavenly people seek and embrace Pool Culture. When the book of hints (Quhr-aahn) claims 'heaven is where rivers (pools) flow... ', it is not for the blind to see such. Even the seeing, it sometimes takes time, and being blind to a few or many things are different. Do not accuse me of changing rivers to pools, but indeed 'rivers' include pools in the complex language of Arabic and the Quhr-aahn. The nature of 'root words' or even common sense will agree Pool is heavenly and unnecessarily denied to the poor and the cowards. A culture to be established may need sensitization and other measures. I want to see Pool Culture up to virtually every home, but which homes can spare space for health, fun, and which other good? Even rental areas deserve pools until God help us eliminate renting, and help every trying soul to own.

Pool for Health: Every mediahouse should be able to elaborate on such to convince new home owners to at least plan for it and some owners to transform an existing room or xyz into a pool. Do you care about your health, the health of your children, seniors, etc? The cost of pools is luckily coming down, and if we research into hemp-steel, hemp plastic, hemp wood, etc , we can essentially farm Pools or make it much cheaper than the shipping container pools. If it costs similar to building a room or two, or about the cost of an average vehicle, then caring for your preventive health can make a pool a priority. Research on Pool exercises, not just swimming. Reserve the pool space as you are seeking an aspect of heaven. Teaching pool building in high school or as a short course can also help reduce the cost.

Access Plans: I believe different mediahouses must dedicate enough time on detailing the many ways we can speed up pool Culture. My last major article has hinted at a few. You can further elaborate on how to use the army, teachers, nurses, etc to spearhead the culture. Countries like the Gambia may have 5% to 15% swimmers as of 2026, but what is the estimated percentage in your country? Do not debate much on that, or just say under 25% for the Gambia and Africa by having a poll. We can change that towards 99%.

We will need a lot of swimming instructors if we want safe mass uplifting within months. How many swimming pools do we need to ascertain over 95% of the army knows how to swim within two to four weeks? It may improve their health and how can we use them as instructors? If 25% to 50% of them can learn fast, then they can be 'aides' or tutors to help Nurses and Teachers learn within weeks. Again, a very small percentage of the mentioned can proceed to be instructors and xyz to the students on swimming. We can ascertain over 90% of Gambians or any country learn swimming if we are determined enough. Our age is lucky to have the privilege of video theories before practical. There are many smarter ways to teach swimming, even beyond the present ways. The Lord is revealing daily and people can be assessed based on shape+ towards specific teachers and exercises to speed up the needed learning. More research may help even in teaching. Eventually, the average mum and dad can teach children swimming in the comfort of their homes. Or they may learn at kindergartens by professionals.

Utilising the Present: Although I want us to push for mass uplifting, even poor Gambia has limited pools for swimming lessons in the cities. You can urge the public to use such, but the provinces (rural area) and many neighbourhoods do not have such pools in the Gambia, and perhaps in many poor countries. We can shift from seeing pools as a luxury to ascertaining every trying soul can access it, own it. Tell them: learning now can make you instructor or aide in the near future…

Special for the Gambia+: Considering the Gambia is very small and divided by the river Gambia, almost every Gambian lives a cycling distance from natural waters. By having pumps and specially built containers, we can pump from the rivers to fill and teach swimming in safer environments. I still prefer having personal home pools and we should push for that asap. Once almost every compound has a pool, then school and community pools will be mainly for competitions and big parties... So stop building small pools as business, unless you are doing so at factory level.

Editorials or Happy hours per Ministry: Berate the ministry of Education for not having enough pools or even the land reserves in some countries. Swimming may be an essential skill more than many things you teach. Considering it takes hours, days, or weeks to learn swimming, we must not skip or delay it against the children. A needed sport to reduce sick children should be a priority for every school. Berate the ministry of Health, Interior, Environment, etc. Berate the president and even opposition leaders until realised. Show them it is a collective failure, because each ministry may claim it is the responsibility of a different ministry.

More Research on Pool Maintenance : The u.s army does much research, but what research do African armies+ do? Regular work like cleaning and research are different . Even if you list some research they do, I am tasking more research beyond Africa. We need mass research on making pool water healthier. Rather than chlorine, I want us to see how to use different types of vinegar , herbs, etc to not just kill bacteria+ but boost human health. Countless known plants like neem can be researched, but also less known plants that are widely available. Testing the waters through stripes and which labs? The army has doctors and which hospitals or labs can help in the daily testing aspects? It is not that chlorine is bad, but life often reserves something better to be discovered.

Seek and introduce people to 'aspects' of heaven, not unnecessarily deny them in fear. Even without climate change worries, swimming is an essential skill if floods remain at present levels and you travel over waters. The Lord of the earth seems to love water, or what percentage of the Gambia and the earth is water? If we push together, we may see less calling-in sick, less hospital visits, more smiling folks, etc. For every 100 pool related disasters through negligence, we should not ignore how pool culture may save us 1000 river or ocean disasters, save us one million hospital visits, etc. Visually having a locked pool in semi-outdoor nature may help some cowards. Of course it is very vital to have personal or home pools widely available in every country. Again, I expect journalists and the caring folks to push for all kinds of needed availability and affordabilities. May God help us much more. May God bless Showlove Trinity: let's learn, let's work, let's have fun.
