SwimTribe was born as a community of swimmers and triathletes who swim in the waters of UAE and abroad on a regular basis.Â
🟢 Open Water Season (OCT-NOV 2025 / FEB-MAY 2026)
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.Â
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.
FIND YOUR PACK
In our community-led swims we swim together and wait for each other, so the pace and distance are usually determined by the slowest swimmer in the group. This is why it’s important to find the pack that suits you best.
If you are new or have not joined a swim, you need to join a Sunday swim first and we will help you find which pack suits you best.Â
🎒 Back Pack: ~2:30 per 100m pace
🦩 Mid Pack: ~2:00 per 100m pace
âš¡ Lead Pack: ~1:40 per 100m pace
Paces are estimates and may vary depending on conditions and group size.
Note. Participation is at your own risk, and it is mandatory to sign a waiver form and wear a swim buoy for every swim. SwimTribe assumes no liability for any injuries, accidents, or incidents that may occur during these swims. By participating, you acknowledge that you are responsible for your own safety and well-being.Â
