It is worth mentioning that swimming is one of the most important sports in the Gaza Strip, especially as it overlooks the Mediterranean coast. This sport has a history bonded to the Gaza Strip’s population throughout ages. The UCAS strongly believes in the importance of communication with the local community institutions in order to meet the needs of different segments in the Strip with great focus on different fields, as well as sports.
