The second leg of the SPORTEXCEL/MILO/NSC/MAS Swimming Circuit was held on 2nd to 4th August 2024 at Pusat Akuatik Tuanku Zara, Ipoh, Perak. DSA Swimming Club had a large team of 126 swimmers participating in the Meet and it was a great chance for the team to make the trip outside of Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh, Perak.
