Ahmed Eladl won silver medals in the 50-meter freestyle and butterfly stroke, and Amr Mohamed secured second place in the 50-meter breaststroke.

In the 4x50 meter medley relay, AUS swimmers kept their archrivals University of Sharjah well behind and achieved first place. AUS swimmers retained the trophy with 56 points, followed by University of Sharjah with 29 points and American University in Dubai in third place with 28 points. Other participating universities were City University College of Ajman, American University of Ras Al Khaimah, Canadian University in Dubai, BITS-Pilani Dubai Campus, and Skyline University College Sharjah.
