This is actually the first meet after being hiatus for at least 20 months due to the pandemic and also many rounds of lock down. Indeed, it’s a warm up session for our swimmers to get back the feel of competition as well as to get back the momentum in the pool.
Our coaches Daniel Bego and Keith Lim who is still the current National Record holder for 50m, 100m and 200m Butterfly and 50m Freestyle respectively also joined in the fun in the meet to inspire the young swimmers.
Our very own superstar swimmer, Muhammad Dhuha Bin Zulkifry swept clean all 9 Golds in style, winning all 9 individual events he participated, with an impressive SCM timing despite all the challenges during pandemic. He was also mentioned and got recognition by SwimSwam, with special highlights on his 50m Freestyle (24.81), 100m Freestyle (53.11), 50m Butterfly (26.30) and 100m Butterfly (57.24) .
