To our Muslim brothers and sisters, may you have a blessed Ramadan. Selamat Berpuasa 🙏🏽

What is the female participation rate in endurance sports in Malaysia? We still have a long way to go when we look at some of the most popular swim, bike, run events in the recent years.

🏃🏻‍♀️SC KL Marathon 42KM… 15%
🏊🏻‍♀️Kapas Marang Int’l Swimathon 6.5KM… 12%
🚴🏻‍♀️L’Etape Malaysia 140KM… 11%
🏊🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️IRONMAN Malaysia… 11%

Doing our part in our own way, we are proud to say that our swim squad of marathon swimmers and triathletes is made up of 🙎🏻‍♀️4️⃣0️⃣% women versus 60% men. Hoping someday we will reach the 50/50 mark, so let’s keep pushing the boundaries. We welcome you to join our squad. 🤗

Pictured here are Stephanie Tan, Dasa Fitzova, Atikah Dawam and Sugania Vijayan as “Team Muhibbah”, representing the women and the colours of , as they complete their 16KM Perhentian Round Island swim.


To all women and their partners/support system who enable them to fulfil their dreams and potential, Happy International Women’s Day! 🏊🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️💪🏻

I'm very proud of MySwim Coaching’s team that we currently have. We made up the largest contingent at Swimon’s PD 2KM Open Water Classic Race with 40 athletes and we won many top 3 positions across numerous age group categories.

What stands out is the ability of our coaching team to bring out the performance of ordinary people (or ‘rakyat biasa’ as often described by Apek Pacer) - with no swimming background during childhood to become competent, high performing swimmers as adults.

Well done to first timers swimming their longest distance in the sea last weekend: Fatin Syahiera, Natrina Majid, Nuur Syafyka, Zoe Teng, Ibrahim Ahmad, Suren Sundarasan!

Congratulations to the top 3 winners from our MySwim team:

Thank you for joining us at our first open water clinic this season! 🌊

We had an awesome turnout with over 60 participants. We covered essential open water skills and even threw in some curveballs. That brought home the fact that the sea is unpredictable and race conditions can be stressful. The key is to be prepared.

Huge thanks to our volunteers, our squad heroes Lesley Tan Li Lian Auzani Ridzwan Hakimi Radzi Yit Fei Kenneth Chang who shared their experiences and took care of swimmers who were new to the sea. And of course, the organiser Swimon for preparing the safety of the event, including an ambulance equipped with AED on standby - a standard that sets the bar for all events.

Thanks to all the participants for making the clinic a success. We hope you took home some valuable skills and insights.

Welcome to the exciting world of open water swimming!

This year marks the 10th year of MySwim’s journey since 2013 and 8 years since MySwim Squad was first established with only 1 lane and 6 swimmers. Till today, we have over 100 consistent swimmers waking up at 5am in the mornings to hit the pool at PJ Palms and Bukit Kiara. We are grateful. ❤️

The community would not come alive without the squad family encouraging each other and passing positive vibes all around. This was exemplified at the unforgettable ‘MSSM 2023’! We believe that swimming in the squad is the most positive thing you can do for yourself in the morning, by keeping your body strong and healthy so that we all can accomplish our life’s mission outside of swimming.

2023 has been a journey filled with both triumphs and heartaches. We have made many moves and records in swimming. Most notable are Ridzwan Rahim’s 25km Redang Channel Swim and Kevin Teh’s efforts to be the first Malaysian to be the first Malaysian to make Ironman under 9 hours (watch this space!). And indeed, the rest of our athletes, challenging themselves in Ironman races and open water swimming races. 💪🏽

On heartaches, we’ve faced the untimely loss of dear friends. While we carry the weight of their absence, we move forward with their spirit by learning, growing and championing safety in our sporting arena. We are reminded that “Change comes within us,” as Jon Cheah said wisely.

Thus, before we close 2023 and look ahead to 2024, we gave out awards to celebrate the achievements of our squad members.

Check out our IG stories and highlights for the stories of our award winners! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thank you 2023, thank you MySwim Squad
