Mohamed Saad (Arabic: محمد سعد; born January 12, 1981) is a Yemeni former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] Saad qualified for the men's 50 m freestyle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by receiving a Universality place from FINA in an entry time of 29.82.[2] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat two, including 15-year-old Malique Williams of Antigua and Barbuda.
