Our Story
The Journey to Sweep Swimming: A Legacy of Excellence
As Omar Elewa approached the end of his accomplished swimming career, he found himself at a crossroads. He had won multiple national and international medals across various strokes and distances, but he was struggling to find a coach who could take his performance to the next level. Driven by a desire to keep pushing his boundaries, Omar began his own research, delving deeply into every aspect of swimming performance. He explored technique, metabolic conditioning, starts and turns, training programs, supplements, nutrition, strength and conditioning, and recovery—leaving no stone unturned in his pursuit of improvement.
Through this journey, Omar discovered a passion not just for advancing his own skills but for helping others do the same. He soon became a pioneer in Egypt’s swimming community, launching the country’s first-ever technique clinic dedicated to younger swimmers. At his clinic, Omar shared the knowledge he’d gained throughout his competitive career, working closely with swimmers to refine their techniques and enhance their potential in the water.
Recognizing the value of a collaborative effort, Omar partnered with Reem Awad, an accomplished international swimmer who had represented Egypt in numerous competitions, winning several medals along the way. Together, they founded Sweep Swimming. Initially, Sweep focused solely on its clinic program, but as word spread and demand grew, Omar and Reem saw the potential to create something even bigger: a team.
As they prepared to expand, they invited Farah Elewa to join the founding team. Farah, a celebrated swimmer with multiple medals across various disciplines, brought her own expertise and passion to the team. Together, the three of them launched Sweep Swimming’s team, offering swimmers not only technique and guidance but a home where they could grow, improve, and compete.
The team’s reputation grew rapidly, and with it came the need for additional support to maintain their personalized and high-quality programs. Recognizing this, they brought Mohamed Moataz on board. A seasoned swimmer with an impressive career and numerous accolades, Mohamed’s extensive experience strengthened Sweep’s offerings and provided an invaluable perspective on training and competition.
As Sweep continued to flourish, Ali Hany joined the team, adding his expertise in both pool and open water events. Ali, a champion who had represented Egypt and his club in national and international competitions, brought a wealth of experience, particularly in endurance and versatility across different swimming disciplines. His presence further enriched the team’s coaching capabilities.
The final addition to Sweep’s coaching team was Mohab Mohamady, who introduced a fresh, innovative approach to training. Mohab’s unique perspective on swimming ensured that Sweep Swimming remained at the cutting edge of coaching, offering its swimmers a dynamic, adaptive program.
Today, Sweep Swimming stands as a testament to the dedication and expertise of its founding members and coaches. What began as a simple desire to share knowledge has evolved into an unrivaled coaching team, combining unmatched experience with a commitment to each swimmer’s personal journey. Sweep Swimming is more than just a team—it’s a community, built on passion, collaboration, and excellence.

Our Philosophy
Building Champions Physically and Mentally
​
At Sweep Swimming, our training philosophy is centered on a holistic approach, recognizing that true excellence in swimming requires both physical prowess and mental resilience. Our program is meticulously crafted to address these two critical dimensions: the physical and the mental.
The Physical Aspect: Precision-Driven, High-Impact Training
Our physical training program is a product of careful engineering and expertise, powered by the analytical background of our head coach, Omar Elewa. Each swimmer’s program is meticulously tailored to focus on the specific skills and conditioning they need to excel. We prioritize quality over quantity, designing each workout to maximize efficiency and reward, avoiding excessive, unnecessary effort. Every session is crafted to target the essential areas that directly impact racing performance, including strength, endurance, technique, and racing skills. By continually refining technique and optimizing each athlete’s unique strengths, we help swimmers achieve faster times while reducing wear and tear, fostering longevity and peak performance.
The Mental Aspect: Cultivating a Champion Mindset
At Sweep Swimming, we believe that medals aren’t what make champions; it’s the champion’s mindset that leads to medals. Our mental training is designed to instill a mindset of resilience, confidence, and relentless ambition in every swimmer. We encourage our athletes to challenge themselves, setting goals that push them just beyond their comfort zones to build unwavering self-confidence and a belief in limitless potential. Through intentional challenges and supportive guidance, we help swimmers dismantle perceived limits, fostering a culture where athletes don’t just set goals—they dream big and actively work toward achieving them.
Our philosophy at Sweep Swimming goes beyond simply training swimmers to race. We’re dedicated to building well-rounded athletes with the physical tools and mental strength needed to succeed in the pool and beyond. With our integrated approach, we aim to empower every swimmer to not only reach their highest potential but also to embrace a journey of continuous growth, resilience, and achievement.
