About Aqua Swimming Academy

Aqua Swimming Academy teaches swimming to children and adults at three Dubai branches: Al Qusais (Apple International School, near DAFZA metro station), Al Karama (Apple International Community School, behind Karama Centre) and Dubai Investments Park (Nibras International School). The academy describes itself as a friendly place for anyone who wants to learn to swim or to train at competition level, with personal care in a safe, clean and secure facility. It says it has over 25 years of experience and is registered in both the UAE and Sri Lanka. Female trainers are available at every branch, which matters to many families. Kids' packages are sold as a block of eight lessons with bonus sessions, held twice a week, and adults can take an unlimited monthly membership. Bonus sessions differ by branch, so confirm what your branch's package includes.

The activity

Swimming, explained

Learn-to-swim lessons start with feeling safe and relaxed in the water: floating, kicking, blowing bubbles and moving across the pool without help. Once those basics are steady, children move on to proper strokes such as front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke, along with safety skills like jumping in and getting back to the edge. Stronger swimmers can go on to squad or competition training, working on technique, turns and stamina. Swimming builds strength, coordination and confidence, and it is kind to growing joints. Ask the provider which ages and levels its classes take.

Who it's for

Children and adults of all ages and skill levels, from first-timers to swimmers training for competition. The youngest starting age is not published, so ask the provider. Female trainers are available at all three branches.

What to expect

Kids join on a monthly package of eight lessons plus bonus sessions, with classes held twice a week. The Karama package lists each session as one hour long; session length at the other branches is not published. The academy says its coaches give personalised coaching with a focus on technique, breath control and confidence in the water, and it offers a path for children who want to move on to competition-level training. Group sizes, what to bring and whether a trial lesson is offered are not published, so ask the provider when you message. Pick a branch on this page to see its address and contact details.
