Swim for Clean Seas | Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort
Join us for a glorious morning on Saadiyat Beach on Friday 29 March 2019 to help us raise awareness for disposable plastic pollution and its effect on our beautiful seas.
Show your enthusiasm and love of the sea by joining us for a fun morning out with your family and friends at Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort. There are swim distances for all levels and hopefully the dolphins will come and swim with us. We will also have the fantastic team from Azraq who will teach us more about the plastics and the effects on the sea as well as a few other surprises.
