ABOUT EVO SWIM

Evo Swim is proud to offer one of Qatar’s most respected swimming programmes, founded in 2012 by former Doha College student and two-time Olympian Nada Arakji. Our programme provides top-quality training and development in a welcoming, family-friendly environment for swimmers of all ages and abilities. Combining a professional yet fun approach, we focus on both mental and physical growth, shaping well-rounded swimmers.

Coaching Programme

At Evo Swim, we provide a structured swimmer development pathway designed to nurture talent, enhance technique, and build confidence at every level. Our coaching programmes cater to all abilities, from beginners learning essential water safety and stroke fundamentals to competitive swimmers refining their technique and race strategies.

Through expert-led training, competitive opportunities, and a strong emphasis on technical, physical, and psychological development, we create an environment where swimmers can improve, compete, and excel. Our holistic approach ensures that every athlete receives the guidance and support they need to reach their full potential in and out of the pool.

Little Splashers
Little Splashers is the perfect introduction to water, helping young children feel comfortable and confident in a fun, supportive environment with parents by their side. Designed for children aged 6 months to 3 years, our sessions use play, songs, and gentle repetition to encourage water confidence, coordination, and early swimming skills. Led by our expert coaches, each class is designed to be engaging, social, and pressure-free, allowing little ones to explore the water at their own pace while building a lifelong love for swimming.
Learn to Swim
Our Learn to Swim Programme is open to swimmers of all abilities, providing a clear pathway for progression. Our structured training focuses on stroke technique, water confidence, endurance, and race skills, ensuring swimmers receive the right balance of challenge and support. All participants are assessed and grouped by age and ability to ensure they train at the appropriate level. With expert coaching and a swimmer-centred approach, we help young athletes build confidence, improve technique, and develop a lifelong passion for swimming.
The Academy
The Evo Swim Academy provides a high-performance environment for talented swimmers looking to compete at the highest level. Our coaching philosophy focuses on technical refinement, race strategies, and physical conditioning, preparing athletes for the demands of competitive swimming. Led by experienced and qualified coaches, the programme integrates sports science, structured training, and competitive opportunities to ensure swimmers are challenged and supported in their development. The academy pathway is designed to help athletes reach their full potential, both in the water and beyond.

SWIM AQUATICS

Swim Aquatics: Progression Without Pressure

Swim Aquatics is designed for teen swimmers who have completed Learn to Swim but prefer to continue developing their technique, endurance, and speed outside of a competitive academy setting. These sessions offer a structured yet relaxed environment, allowing swimmers to stay active and refine their skills while enjoying the water.

For older beginners aged 10+, our Older Learn to Swim programme provides a welcoming space for those new to swimming or progressing through the Learn to Swim framework. These twice-weekly sessions follow the same structured curriculum but are tailored to older swimmers, ensuring they build confidence, technique, and water awareness alongside peers of a similar age in a comfortable and supportive setting.

Performance Clock

At Evo Swim, our Performance Clock provides a structured way to track swimmer development across technique, endurance, speed, and race readiness.

Key focus areas include:

-Stroke efficiency and race technique

-Starts, turns, and finishes

-Endurance, speed, and conditioning

-Tactical awareness and competition preparation

Regular assessments help tailor training to each swimmer’s growth, ability, and goals, ensuring continuous improvement. This approach gives swimmers and parents clear insights into progress, supporting long-term development and success in the pool.

Swim Meets & Competitive Programme

The Evo Swim Meets Programme provides swimmers with regular competitive experiences tailored to their stage of development. Through local and in-house competitions, swimmers have the opportunity to test their skills, track their progress, and challenge themselves against a variety of opponents.

Following a structured and progressive model, our competition programme helps swimmers develop resilience, adaptability, and race strategy. By experiencing different racing environments, they build confidence, improve tactical awareness, and learn to perform under pressure.

Travel and Tournament Programme

Evo Swim provides athletes with opportunities to travel across the Gulf region and beyond to compete in high-level swim meets and competitions. These experiences expose swimmers to different racing conditions, competitive challenges, and diverse aquatic environments, helping them develop as athletes.

By competing against top swim clubs in the Middle East and Europe, swimmers gain valuable race experience, learn to perform under pressure, and refine their skills in a professional setting. These competitions are an essential part of the swimmer development pathway, offering unique learning opportunities both in and out of the pool.
