Swim Fast & Water Polo Grand Cayman Islands

Welcome to the Home of the Cayman Pirates!

Keep up to date with what we're doing!

From our travel adventures, to our children's camps, we always have something to offer.
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. 🌊 #TheCayman13 #CaymanAqualife #WaterPoloForAll #CommunityChampions #YouthSportsCayman #CaymanIslands #WaterPolo #Scholarships #Community #SupportLocal #Caymankind #Opportunity #LegacyThrow back to Saturday, and the 33rd annual Flowers Sea Swim! 700+ Swimmers took to our pristine ocean and some of our Pirates family joined in the fun.

David, a passionate ocean lover with dreams of becoming a marine biologist, thrives in nature, loves adventure, and isn’t afraid to scrimmage. Whether he's in the water or dressed sharp in a suit, David brings curiosity, confidence, humor, and commitment to everything he does. This scholarship is named after Glenn Whewell, a teacher at John Gray High School, and an unwavering force behind the Cayman 13 vision. For the past year, Mr. Whewell has given 100% to support youth development and proudly helped take John Gray’s first-ever water polo team to play internationally. His belief in opportunity and action is shaping futures—one player at a time. 🌟🌟🌟 As we continue through The Cayman 13, each story reminds us why we do what we do. These boys represent the future of the sport—and the Caymanians they honor remind us of the heart behind it all. We’re just getting started. 💙 #TheCayman13 #CaymanAqualife #waterpolo #Community #YouthSportsCayman #CaymanIslands #Scholarships #Community #SupportLocal #Caymankind #Opportunity #Legacy #legendsA schools water polo league is HAPPENING on the island, with the 1st tournament next week!

Rylan continues to impress—not just with his all-round athletic ability, but with his determination, humility, and ability to lift up those around him. He was voted vice captain during our international tour to Orlando in December 2025, a testament to the quiet leadership and example he sets every day. This scholarship is named after Jordan Crooks, an Olympic swimmer from the Cayman Islands whose journey has been defined by excellence, discipline, and humility. Jordan is a shining example of what’s possible when talent meets relentless effort—and he holds a special place in our hearts here at Cayman Aqualife Academy.

These young athletes will train with us for free for a full year. Each scholarship is named after someone who’s had a meaningful impact on ourselves, and on others. 🏀🏀🏀 Kicking It Off 🏀🏀🏀 The Seaford Russell Jnr. Scholarship, awarded to Jordan Cummings of John Gray High School. Jordan has stood out not only for his athletic ability but for his commitment, leadership, and positive energy at every training session. He shows up early, works hard, and supports his teammates without being asked. He represents the values we want this program to be built on. He was also voted as captain of the John Gray team during our international trip to Orlando. Seaford is a respected Caymanian journalist known for championing truth, community, and support—values that reflect everything we stand for. Over the next 13 weeks, we’ll be introducing all our recipients and the inspiring names behind each scholarship.
