Swimming lessons for kids in Raaanan

Although there are private swimming teachers in and around Raanana (including in Kiryat Ganim and Givat Chen) the municipal swimming pool also offers courses, one on one lessons and training. The team of teachers is highly professional and experienced and the swimming school is run like clock work. They teach toddlers, first time swimmers and have training groups which in 2012 will start competing in competitions against other swimming schools. Their prices are also reasonable: For older kids ( about 10years - eighteen) training is twice a week for an hour and costs 260 shekels a month. A course for a 6 year old who doesn't know how to swim consists of 8 lessons (2 a week) and costs 400 shekels. There are about 8 kids in each group.
For more information call the pool at09 700700 and speak to Ya'ara.

How to dispose of a dead dog/cat's body in Raanana

Believe it or not the municipality does not have a service which takes away dead animal's bodies and disposes of them. But if you bring your dog to the Municipal veterinary services they will put the dog down and take care of the body for 234.5 shekels. Alternatively you can go to a vet who will put the dog down for 450 shekels and take the body off of your hands for approximately 350 shekels or you can go out into the fields which surround Raanana and bury the dog or cat yourself. If your pet needs to be put down you can contact the Moked at 107 . Take into account that if you have the Municipality put your dog to sleep you cannot be with the animal when it is given the fatal injection. The Municipal veterinarian services are located next to Kfar Nuhman, on Kfar Nachman Road.
