The cheers of IBSC led by our senior swimmers was a great opening roar to the SportExcel Grand Final 2019 which was held at IBSC homeground, Kompleks Renang Kuala Lumpur Cheras on the 3rd and 4th August, 2019.

A total of 38 IBSC swimmers qualified to the SportExcel Grand Final 2019. The format for the Grand Final involving preliminary heats as qualifying round to the afternoon finals, was a good exposure to the swimmers to test their endurance, focus, stamina and psychological strength.

Day 2 - Qualifiers looking smart in turquoise blue 

The preliminaries was started at 9:00 am under a hot morning sun for both days and resumed at 3:00 pm under a blazing hot and dry weather for the finals.

The overall club champion was determined by the total points gained by the swimmers. Only swimmers who qualified to the finals in the evening sessions were awarded with points. IBSC managed to grab the second spot on the table with 266 points despite only having 18 swimmers were qualified to the finals in the evening sessions for both days.  

The top performer for IBSC was Muhammad Dhuha who managed to clinch 7 golds and 1 silver in all 8 events for the finals. What is astounding is that he  broke 50m fly meet records for 10&U twice. Dhuha clocked 30.91s in the preliminary heat in the morning of day 1 to erase his own previous record of 30.93s. Later in the afternoon final, he further eliminated his prelim record to a better PB of 30.67s. With the performance he displayed during the meet, he was awarded with 10&U Boys Age Group Champion. Congratulations to Muhammad Dhuha.
