In a special and unique initiative, a swimming course for women was offered free of charge to all interested participants in July 2018, in a comfortable and suitable environment for ladies. The course received an excellent response from women. Our efforts aimed not only to improve their athletic skills and physical and mental health but also to enhance women’s self-confidence as half of the body of society and to encourage their greater participation in activities outside the home.
At the end of the course, a closing ceremony was held, and certificates of appreciation were awarded to the participants.
In fact, through such activities, we not only strive for the health and well-being of individuals and families but also believe that physical education increases joy and happiness throughout society. And what worship could be greater than striving to fulfill our religious teachings that say, “A sound mind in a sound body”?
Unfortunately, many people mistakenly believe that to follow religious teachings, one must abandon worldly life and withdraw from society. How many great athletic talents have been lost due to such narrow-minded interpretations of religion!
The Katib Cultural and Sports Association is determined to continue removing such limitations and to strengthen athletic potential with all its efforts. Therefore, we invite all capable friends and young people living in Austria to join us in promoting health and contributing to this noble and human movement.
