Mohamed Attia is an accomplished and passionate swimmer, renowned for his competitive spirit and love for open-water races, including grueling 5k, 10k, and 15k challenges across the Mediterranean and Red Seas. His lifelong connection to water began at just 3 years old in 1999 in Egypt, where he first developed his strong foundation in swimming. His natural talent and dedication led him to continually improve his skills, both in competitive environments and in his quest to become a skilled swim instructor. Moving to Canada in 2011 marked a turning point in Mohamed’s career, as it opened new opportunities for him to share his knowledge and enthusiasm for swimming through teaching.
