Mansour Sultan Al Matbouie (right) is the director of the Al Ain Swimming Team at the Al Ain Club. He says, “We are the best team in the UAE: we won the cup this year. We have 12 players in the national team. This season we broke 27 records. We have a swimming school with 5 age and ability levels.
Ashraf Salah (below) is the head coach for the team, having been with the club for 7 years in all. He was a coach for the national team for 3 years before that.
This is the pool where the training takes place. It’s behind the Al Jimi Police Station – 2 blocks north of the Al Jimi Mall…
My son Toby who is on the team is on the left in this photo…
Contact Ashraf on 050 5498 486 if you want to know more.
I am teaching in Buraimi and is from South Africa. I have a daughter with Down syndrome who would like to join a swimming club. She is 17 years of age and competed at the world championships last year in Taipei. I would like her to continue with swimming and if possible compete at the world champs in 2012 again. Will it be possible for her to join your club and if not do you know of any other club that would be able to assist? She joined a normal swimming club in South Africa and also swam at the abled bodies galas to get times for her to be able to qualify for the champs.
Your help will be highly appreciated
regards

Can anyone join this club for a short time swimming training? and are there any public swimming pools in Al Ain?
Hi Ahmad,
No, not really. But ring up and ask anyway.
No, there are no public swimming pools I’m aware of: they’re really for use by school children.

Hi Zubair,
Your only option is to pay for a day pass at one of the local hotels like the Hilton, Rotana or Danat.

Hi Sally,

Hi Vel,
This isn’t a club which teaches swimming — I suggest you try one of the hotels in the town with a pool.
