IBSC swimmers top notch performance at Milo/PRAKL Age Group Swim 2020

The MILO/PRAKL Age Group Swimming Championship 2020 was held for 3-days on 10th - 12th January, 2020 at Kompleks Renang Kuala Lumpur with 819 swimmers competing from 14 clubs and schools.

Congratulations to all IBSC swimmers and coaches for achieving great results and improvement in PBs. Many of the IBSC swam for their respective schools, hence results were split, not to mention some elite swimmers were exempted from the qualifying meet. Nevertheless, IBSC collected 59 gold, 59 silver and 52 bronze which in total amount to 170 medals.

IBSC also has one of the most representations of 59 swimmers who managed to swim to merit time and were considered for the forthcoming 56th MILO/PRAM Malaysia Invitational Age Group Swimming Championship (MIAG 2020) to be held on  5th-8th March 2020.
