Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana hosted a new swimming competition by the seawaters of the Arabian Gulf on Friday, November 13th, 2015. It was an exciting day for all the parents and children as they had the chance to compete and showcase their swimming strokes and skills that they perfectly learned during months of hard practice through the supervision of striving instructors.

This swimming competition welcomed almost 100 motivated participants, impatient to compete between each other with the possibility of winning gold and silver medals. Adults and kids tested their skills against the best in the region and had, in the same time, the opportunity to improve their swimming techniques with our high-qualified coaches. “The competition was full of surprises with great swimmers who wowed all the spectators”, said Anas Karkutli, the swimming coach at Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana. “I am very proud of the children’s super performances and I was glad to see them hardly competing while having amusing time”.

“We were glad to invite all parents and children and share with them a good time under the bright sun. It is always a pleasure for us to share such moments with our guests” said Eleni Tsolakou, General Manager at Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana. “It was the perfect moment for every participant to improve their swimming techniques and learn about this sport while enjoying a diverting day”.

The competition featured three styles – freestyle, breaststroke and butterfly – and participants swam 30 or 60 m in each race, or the additional 120 m butterfly and 300 m freestyle. After their super performances, the swimming fans took time to relax at the pool’s edge and enjoy cool and exotic refreshments. Moreover, they had the chance to make new friends and share a diverting morning while splashing around in the Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana’s pool.
