SwimTribe was born as a community of swimmers and triathletes who swim in the waters of UAE and abroad on a regular basis.
🟢 Schedule is currently on until June 2025
SwimTribe is a community founded on a shared love for open water swimming. All sessions are voluntary and led by the community, with guidance from our experienced coaches and group leaders. We provide a mix of fitness training and technique development. Participation is at your own risk, and it is mandatory to sign a waiver form and wear a swim buoy for every voluntary swim.
