As an Australian swim coach based in Abu Dhabi and owner of Arabian Swim Academy, I focus on delivering student-led, engaging lessons that connect directly with each swimmer’s interests. My approach is built on the belief that athletes learn best when they feel ownership of their progress, so I design sessions that encourage exploration, questions, and active participation. By blending technical skill development with fun, relevant challenges, I aim to create an environment where swimmers stay motivated, grow in confidence, and develop a lifelong enjoyment of the sport.
I offer a versatile swim coaching service that caters to a range of needs, providing both private and group lessons. Each session is designed around the student’s individual needs and abilities, ensuring that swimmers progress at a pace that suits them while staying engaged and motivated. Families can choose one-to-one lessons for highly personalised attention or group sessions that encourage teamwork, confidence, and peer learning. Lessons are available at home and community pools for convenience, or in our school’s rented pool facility for a more structured training environment. This flexible approach allows every swimmer to receive high-quality coaching in the setting that best supports their growth.
Testimonials
My daughter has been swimming with Arabian Swimming Academy since she was 4 years old, she is 11 years old now. She was a very premature baby and as a result has some coordination issues. Coach Helen from Arabian Swimming Academy has been paramount in improving her coordination that is helping her in her daily life and making her body stronger. We are very grateful to have found Coach Helen, my daughter adores her and she has made such a huge impact on her life.
A heartfelt thank you to Arabian Swim Academy!
I cannot express in words how grateful I am to the incredible team at Arabian Swim Academy. As a parent of a special child, finding the right environment with the right people is not easy—but this academy has gone above and beyond in every possible way.
They have been generously providing a free swimming lesson every week for my child, dedicating their time, energy, and resources selflessly. The level of professionalism and care they bring to each session is truly unmatched in Abu Dhabi. Every detail is handled with excellence—from scheduling to communication—and most importantly, the coaches are extremely well-trained, patient, and compassionate. Their soft skills and understanding make a world of difference for children like mine.
This is truly one of the rare services in Abu Dhabi that stands out for its inclusive, thoughtful, and impactful approach. I sincerely thank everyone at Arabian Swim Academy from the bottom of my heart. I am deeply grateful, and it would be an absolute pleasure to support them in any of their future initiatives for the community.
Keep up the amazing work—you’re changing lives
