Description

Escape the bustling streets of Jaipur and step back in time with a truly immersive cultural and aquatic experience at the Chilla Baori in Amer. Chilla Baori is a magnificent, lesser-known stepwell (baori) located just minutes from the famous Amer Fort. Unlike a typical modern pool, you will be swimming in a historically significant structure that was once a vital water source and community hub. The unique, terraced architecture provides a stunning backdrop for your swimming lesson. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to improve your technique, a professional and certified swimming instructor will provide personalized guidance: Beginners: Start with fundamental water safety, floating, and basic strokes in the shallower areas. You'll gain confidence and skills in no time! Intermediate/Advanced: Focus on stroke correction, breathing techniques, and endurance training in the deeper sections of the stepwell. The instructor ensures a safe, encouraging, and highly enjoyable learning experience, keeping group sizes small for maximum attention. Your experience extends beyond the water. Before or after your swim, your instructor will guide you through the intricate levels of the baori, sharing fascinating insights into: The history of stepwells in Rajasthan and their engineering brilliance. The community and religious significance of Chilla Baori throughout the centuries. The connection between the baori and the nearby Amer Fort. This is more than just a class; it's a deep dive into the local heritage of Jaipur.
