Welcome to Cayman AquaLife Academy!

As we start a brand new term, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all our returning athletes and their families, as well as to those joining us for the first time. 2025 is shaping up to be an incredible journey of change; filled with growth, learning, and fun in the water.

We are excited to introduce you to our program.
 
This year, I'm thrilled to offer a comprehensive schedule designed to develop water polo, swimming, and children's camps in a structured, supportive, and engaging environment. Whether your child is here for Splash Ball, Water Polo, Intensive Swim Clinics, or Camp, there's a place for everyone to grow, excel, and make memories. 

As from the 1st of January, 2025, we will be known as Cayman Aqualife Academy Ltd, trading as the Cayman Pirates.

SUMMER

Join us for the adventure!
Meet our FOURTH Cayman 13 Scholarship Recipient! 

🏀🏀🏀 4th Surge 🏀🏀🏀 

The Jillian Crooks Scholarship awarded to Alexander Lindsay of John Gray High School. 

Alex was one of the first to dive into water polo at John Gray and has shown remarkable growth, dedication, and discipline over the past year. With strong attendance, international experience, and contagious energy both in the pool and on the dance floor, he’s a rising star with real potential for CARIFTA selection. 

This scholarship is named after Jillian Crooks, one of my first swimmers on the island, who has grown into an incredible ambassador for the Cayman Islands. A record holder and Olympian, her dedication and spirit continue to inspire the next generation of Caymanian athletes. 

Week by week, we see how powerful sport can be—not just in the water, but in the lives it touches. Each of The Cayman 13 carries the spark of something bigger. And each scholarship honors the spirit of a Caymanian who proves what’s possible. 

There’s more to come. Stay with us. 🌊
