Hi MM, welcome in advance to Muscat.

I can't help you with homes on the Wave, sorry...we looked there and it wasnt really us. We also moved here from dubai in Jan this year and are loving it. Very outdoors, sports orientated, lots of camping, and the people here are the best.

Hubby is also a tri guy, and theres a really great group going...still doing tris in June, sprint distance, early starts. They have a FB group you can join for all the updates about events. Theres also Roadrunners/ mountain bike groups and much more. Little nippers will start again for the kids in hopefully september if it has cooled down enough, and theres beavers and brownies, and all types of classes going for the small ones. (My daughter is 7 & goes to Royal Flight). Guy that runs the little nippers for the kids is also one of the boot camp guys. I have a feeling theres a group that are doing it indoors at the gym on the Wave currently aswell. Rugby for the kids starts up again in September, and the new Funzone has a gym on it's top level that runs classes for kids and women...kickboxing, martial arts and assorted aerobic type things. Theres good swim coaches around as well, so getting the kids training in that won't be at all difficult.

My email is: ari underscore jo 2002 at yahoo dot co dot nz Please feel free to get in touch, am more than happy to help out in any way we can. If you are arriving august, I don't think we're back from africa til the 21st-ish, but can meet up after that.

Hi Everyone.

We will be moving to Oman end of August and I'm busy trying to find out what I need to do to get my family settled. I'm from South Africa, moved to Britain in 2000, had 2 kids, a boy, 7 and a girl, 9 and have been in Dubai for the last year. We are quite into our sport, so I am looking for the best place to join a gym which includes swimming lessons for the kids and I would like to try my hand at hockey again, seems like there is a club for that. My husband is into triathlons, we both like to do running and I like to do bootcamp type training. My kids enjoy karate and swimming, but always keen to try something new. Both did brownies and beavers in the UK and would love to get into clubs again. We are hoping to move to the Wave and they will be going to school at TLC.

If anyone can help me out with information on settling in and would like to meet up for a coffee, please let me know.

Thanks,
Michelle.
