Open Water Swimming with your family and friends where you can participate by swimming in a range of swim distances in the prestine waters of SOUL BEACH at Mamsha on Saadiyat Island.

Competition distances are 2 miles (3200m), 1 mile (1600m), 800m, 400m and especially for the little ones we are offering the 200m splash and dash.

There are swim distances for all levels and hopefully the dolphins will come and swim with us.

There is a discount offered if you wish to compete in more than 2 distances – please register and pay for the 3,200 and 1,600 distances and then email Karyn and she’ll enter you in a 3rd and/or 4th distance for free.
