Be it the feeling of floating and
sliding through the water or a break from the heat of summer, swimming
fills a wonderful recreational need for individuals. DPS-MIS with its
Olympic-size pool strives to fulfill yet another need of its students
where they can develop life skills such as sportsmanship,
time-management, self-discipline, goal-setting and an increased sense of
self-worth through their participation in the sport.
The 50
metres pool, which has all the features to host National and
International competitions, was inaugurated on 4th December 2013 by
Chief Guest Mr. Mohammed Al Sheeb. The day saw the gracious presence of
eminent personalities like Mr. Khalid Abdullah and Mr. Wouly De Bie,
members of the Qatar Swimming Association; Mr. Hassan Chougule, Mr.
Yassir Nainar, Mr. Rocky Fernandes and Mr. Harish Kanjani, Executive

The quiet pool became a whirlpool of
activities when the students of the junior and senior school showcased
their swimming skills under the guidance of their PE teachers. Team work
and team spirit were exhibited when they displayed the art of
synchronized swimming .They showed different formations with different
swimming equipment and swimming strokes. The formations of the Olympic
ring and pyramids were a treat for the eyes.
