Coach Michael

Meet Michael van Dam, our seasoned swimming coach with a diverse and impressive background. After a distinguished 11-year stint in the Royal Dutch Marines, Michael further honed his skills in martial arts in Switzerland, before setting up roots in Dubai.

In Dubai, he discovered a new passion: swimming coaching. Over an intense eight-year period, he achieved level 1 and 2 teaching certifications, and a level 1 coaching certification. This enabled him to craft tailored swimming programs for both beginners and advanced swimmers, always emphasizing on technique to help them swim better, stronger, and faster. His expertise has been sought after by prestigious schools across Dubai, where he established high-standard swim programs.

Since late 2021, Michael has been in Portugal, continuing to share his love for swimming. His current focus is empowering special needs children through swimming, a mission he pursues with great dedication and joy.
