Its Instagram bio also lists badminton and open water swimming. It holds 4.9 on Google from 160 reviews. The Google listing says an appointment is required, so message the academy on WhatsApp before you go. Age bands for each group, prices and class times are not published, so ask when you get in touch.
The activity
Swimming, explained
Swimming lessons teach children to be safe and confident in the water, then build stroke technique step by step. Early sessions usually focus on getting comfortable in the pool: floating, kicking, breathing and moving through the water with support. As confidence grows, children work on front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke, plus water-safety skills such as treading water and getting to the side. Swimming builds fitness, coordination and a life skill every child in a city of pools and beaches needs. Many children start formal lessons from around age 3-5, though ages and levels vary by school, so check with the provider.
Who it's for
Children and adults. The academy says it teaches swimming for all ages, with toddler learn-to-swim, adult learn-to-swim, and development and elite squads (Instagram, July 2025). Age bands for each group are not published, so ask which group fits your child.
What to expect
Lessons take place at the Egyptian Club pool in Oud Metha. The Google listing says an appointment is required, so message the academy on WhatsApp first rather than turning up.
