There will be fun activities, gifts, refreshments and swim distances for all levels including special appearances from sea experts – Azraq – a non-profit marine conservation organization – teaching vital facts and insights about how we can all help reduce the impact of plastic pollution in our seas. There will also be a special workshop with the resident Marine Biologist, Emily Armstrong from Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort. Not to forget, the amazing brand ambassadors: HH Sheikh Theyab Khalifa, one of first Emiratis to climb Mount Everest, and Sarra Lajnef, first Tunisian female swimmer to qualify for the Olympics – both highly passionate about keeping our seas and the environment clean!
