Maryam Al Shazly secured silver in the 50-meter back stroke and bronze in the 50-meter free style. Rawan Salah fought well in the 50-meters breast stroke to receive the silver medal. The AUS team defeated the competition to emerge winners in the 4x 50-meters freestyle relay.

University of Sharjah and United Arab Emirates University-Al Ain won second and third places respectively in the competition.
