Pippa Clark, Managing Director of Hamilton Aquatics UAE comments, “At Hamilton Aquatics, we have crafted comprehensive swimming programmes that caters for swimmers of ages 3 months old to advanced squad training for elite swimmers. Not only do we teach swimming, we also cultivate a love for the sport among our swimmers. Whilst we offer programmes from the learner pool to the elite level that can bring international success, our mission statement is about every swimmer having their own unique starting point and their own unique international podium. We are here to support each swimmer whether they want to get over their fear of the water, they want to make their school team or whether they genuinely want to take their sport to the international level. It’s about challenging each person individually.”

A testament to their success, numerous Hamilton Aquatics trained swimmers have emerged to be Olympians and represent their respective country on the international stage, with the academy’s seamless pathways that allows recreational swimmers to transition to competitive squads and hone their skills.
