Hamilton Aquatics provides an ideal environment for your child to gain water confidence, and subsequently develop excellent swimming technique. We work within a structured programme and our coaches are qualified and highly trained. This means you can be absolutely confident that Hamilton Aquatics will provide you with the most comprehensive swimming development programme in the U.A.E.

The class sizes are small to ensure that we can enhance learning. Beginner with no overhang classes will only have a maximum of six, with the high levels having only a maximum of eight swimmers. We do not normally fill our classes because our continual assessment methods demand the provision of spaces for those swimmers who are moving up classes.

We'll be continually assessing

Progress is vital in Hamilton Aquatics. Swimmers are continually assessed in all swimming lessons.. As soon as the your child has completed all of the required tasks, and demonstrate appropriate skills, a place in the next level up will be offered. This means each swimmer can develop at his or her own pace, without having to wait until the end of the term. This means that progression can be instant for your child.

Hamilton Aquatics runs for 40 weeks a year, ensuring continuous progress for all of the children. This means the swimmers do not take a step backwards during the holiday periods. It also allow for you to join the development programme at any point during the year.

Your progression path is clear

"Never lose sight of your goals and your path will be clear."

At Hamilton Aquatics we have eight different teaching levels. As soon as a swimmer has attained a required skill standard they will be promoted to the next level.

Some swimmers wish to continue their stroke improvements and basic fitness without the pressures of competition and commitment. The ideal environment for this is at the Hamilton Aquatics Club Squad. These are located at Jumeirah College and Wellington International School.
