What is Swim4Akhirah?
Swim4Akhirah was born in 2020 during the pandemic, inspired by the call for justice and representation seen in the Black Lives Matter movement. As a Muslim woman in hijab, I saw the need to create more inclusion in the swimming industry — a space where many of us are underrepresented.
What began as online webinars and community collaborations has grown into a mission: to empower Muslim women and the wider community through swimming, fitness, and mental wellness. Swim4Akhirah is a sister project to BeFit4Akhirah and my podcast, Purposeful Fitness with Coach Ola.
This year, we are celebrating the 5-year anniversary of Swim4Akhirah — continuing the mission of representation, inclusion, and community building. Together, we’ll strengthen the bridge between fitness and mental health, and end the summer on a strong note.

FAQ:
Whose pool is this?
-This is a rented pool! It belongs to someone who I am renting through Swimply.com which I have been to multiple times before!
How can I make sure this is a safe pool?
-Yes, safety is number one concern which I also take very heavily. Swimply hosts are verified users and this host will not be at home so we will be to ourselves. Of course the host has security cameras which is part of every space even indoor pools for safety concerns at all times. I also have used this place in the past and had great experiences before!
Will I be able to shower after the pool time?
-Unfortunately no. Since this is not my pool and because it's limited time rent, showering will need to be done at home. This host does not have shower available. To use the shower, I would have to pay more, and I am not going to do that right now.
Which pool did you rent and where is the location at ?
-This pool is located in Great Falls, VA. Once you sign up for the course/page, the exact address will be provided and further details will be inside the curriculum.
