Swimming is unlikely, it is already cold.
As for the choice of the emirate, from the point of view of proximity to the stone jungle and shopping malls of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Sharjah is, of course, preferable. But she also has a minus - alcohol is not served anywhere, even in the hotel. In winter, it is generally better to stay in a city hotel in Dubai. If it is suddenly warm on some day, you can drive to the city beach, but it makes no sense to overpay for the first line in January.

Been there three times in January. Year after year is not necessary. Sometimes warmer, sometimes cooler. In general, warmer than in Egypt in winter. I swam, but my wife and daughter are very thermophilic, they didn’t swim. I swam in Sharjah, and in Dubai and Fujairah. Didn't notice much difference in temperature. Fujairah is far from everything, there are only hotels. If you want to see Dubai, then go to Sharjah. If you just want to sunbathe and swim, then go to Fujairah

Water in January in Dubai/Sharjah can be from 21.5 degrees to 24. Usually 22 - 23 degrees. If there is no cold wind and rain, then it is very comfortable. In Fujairah, it is somewhere a degree warmer, on average 23-24, some days can reach up to 25. This is not very bad, given that, for example, in the Canary Islands, the water is around 24 degrees all year round. But this, of course, is neither Thailand nor the Maldives , where water is +28

AlexZimin, there are few vacationers on the beach, even fewer in the sea. But this is Dubai. Fujairah is better for a beach holiday.
There is no beach holiday in the UAE.
The UAE is worth a visit for show. Unreasonably expensive.

Just got back from Fujairah. The air and sea temperatures were great. The water in the pool, as if in the bathroom at home. We talked to the locals and they said that January is the coldest month for them and rainy. But last year it was quite warm, and this year before our arrival (December 19) there was heavy rain for more than a week, which they almost never had. If there were rains, then no more than 15 minutes and then in January. During our stay, the water temperature reached 26 degrees.
