I want to learn swimming. I stay near electronic city Bangalore. Is there near by swimming coaching centers available near by?
If you find that the memberships are too expensive in resorts,clubs or hotels, try some standard pools with 50 mts where public batches would be available at nominal prices of Rs 30-50 per hour. Hope this helps.
