"It was simply spectacular to see UAE's multi-cultural community join together to actively compete in the swimming competition together with their family and friends," Mohammad Eisa Al Gurair, one of the sponsors, said.
"This is the time to swim, enjoy the wonderful sunshine and be active and what better way to do it than through a fun-filled activity."
