Q1) Is it permissible for women to go womens only swimming classes with the satar covered,with other muslim and non muslim women?

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

It is permissible for women to attend women’s-only swimming classes with other Muslim or non-Muslim women if:

They properly cover their ‘awrah

Their clothing is appropriate and not revealing, especially after becoming wet

No non-mahram man is able to see them, including any male lifeguards or security personnel

They can safeguard their gazes from looking at the ‘awrah of other women, in case of them not covering properly

There is no fear of other women describing the Muslim women’s body, face, or hair to other non-mahram men

The environment is free from other harms and evils, such as music

And Allah knows best

Wassalaamu `alaykum
