Team Kuala Lumpur is the MIAG 2017 Champion Team!

The 53rd Malaysia Invitational Swimming Championships 2017 has just ended this afternoon in Hang Jebat Aquatic Centre, Malacca after a 4-day stiff competition.

This year, Team Kuala Lumpur did excellently well compared to the past years as swimmers scooped up golds after golds each day to help the team to be poised on top, eventually ending a champion drought for the last one decade. The team doubled the number of gold achieved last year with 40 gold in hand to narrowly win the championship.

The team, with 60 swimmers, could have done even better if not for some unexpected slip of gold in certain events. But overall, the whole KL squad is high in spirit as motivation from coaches, peers, parents and support teams all poured in overwhelmingly to uplift the morale and energy of the team. 

We congratulate all winners, medalists who broke records, swimmers who shed PBs and all those who have supported the team from various angles, near and far!

Thanks to coaches, team managers, chaperones and volunteers for the hard work and dedicated support. Also our appreciation to our sponsors MADWAVE, CS Foundation, ARENA and Under Armour Singapore for believing in us!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Keep logging on for official results soon!
