Assalamu Alaykum Sisters,
All-Girls Swimming is coming up shortly–You ready?
We’d like to make one brief clarification though:
For those of you coming this Saturday July 24th (12-3 pm), the pool is in Cooke Hall but you have to go through the University of Minnesota Rec Center to get there, NOT Cooke Hall or the Aquatic Center. Tell the front desk at the Rec Center that you are there for women only swimming in Cooke 10 and they will direct you from there. You have to go through the women’s locker room, all the way to the back, then through a long hallway to get to the pool. Stay covered as you go through the hall because it is open to men as well. Once you get to the pool you may feel free to uncover.
The closest parking to the Rec Center is the Washington Avenue Ramp and the University Avenue Parking Ramp. Check out this link for a map of the area. If you get lost feel free to call us at 651.468-7585.
We hope to see you at the pool inshaAllah!
Wassalamu Alaykum Wara7matullah,

Assalamu Alaykum Girls,
Heat, humidity, and the warmth of our Hijabs can sometimes be overwhelming. Perhaps it’s time for a little summer splash at the pool! Join us for an All-Girls swimming series at the University of Minnesota, Cooke Hall-Pool 10: 1900 University Ave. SE Minneapolis, MN 55455. Swimming is free, all thanks to Building Blocks, but you will have to pay for parking…
For ramp info and locations, contact the U of M Parking & Transportation Services: 612-626-7275 OR contact one of us: 651-468-7585. If you wish to carpool, let us know in advance! A few sisters will be meeting at Masjid Al-Huda to carpool to the university campus, Insha’Allah.
SWIMMING DATES/TIMES:
Thursday, July 8th from 6-8pm
Saturday, July 17th from 12-3pm
