The 16th Novice Swim Meet, the first Meet for the new 2026 season, was held on April 25-26 at the National Aquatic Centre in Bukit Jalil. These Novice Meets are designed to introduce beginner swimmers to the world of competitive swimming, helping them gain experience, build confidence, and prepare for more advanced competitions. Swimmers qualify as “novice” if they have never represented their state at the national level or secured individual medals in previous State Age Group Swimming Meets.
DSA Swimming Club proudly fielded a strong team of 187 young swimmers, many of whom were experiencing competitive swimming for the first time. For these budding athletes, the meet offered invaluable exposure to the structured schedules, discipline, and environment of inter-club competitions.
After two days of spirited competition, the team delivered an outstanding performance, securing a total of 67 medals, which included 25 Golds.
Among the stars of the Meet, Ariana Tay Yu Qiao from the 7yr olds group shone brilliantly winning 6 Golds and 2 Silvers in her events, a true champion in the making. Decan Chan Ze Ken in the Boys 12yr olds group also performed superbly in his events, collecting a staggering 5 Golds, followed by Cadence Liew Yi Hern from the 15yr group with 4 Golds to her tally. Fu Ziyu added 2 more Golds to the team tally with her win in the 12yr olds group.

DSA Swimming Club stands tall at unusual President Cup Meet
The 39th National Inter-Club Swimming Championships for the President Cup 2022 was held during the first weekend of December. The location was Pusat Akuatik Tuan Zara, Perak Darul Ridzuan at Ipoh in the state of Perak.
A HUGE ‘Well done!’ goes out to the DSA Swim Team for their exemplary performance in the Meet. We are proud of you, and as a team, you are the True Champions of the 39th National Inter-Club Swimming Championships for the President Cup Meet without a doubt.
This year, the Meet being held after a post-pandemic gap of 2 years proved to be unusual in terms of the crowning to the Overall Champion Club, which is based on the total points earned. DSA Swimming Club’s points were forfeited to remain united as a single Club team. The final results of the team were hence shown without any points.
For the record, DSA Swimming Club’s accumulated total points for the Meet, as shown in the image below, stood at 833.5, which is a truly remarkable feat! It is a proud moment for the entire team of swimmers, coaches, parents and well-wishers who came together for this path breaking performance.
Scintillating performance by Evan Chua Min Hao earned him 3 Golds in the Boys 11-12 yrs category events and a similar show by Cham Yu Xiang added 2 Golds to the team total. Other Gold winners included Masato Mark Fujimoto, Olivia Seow Cui Ying, Heidi Lim Pei Xin, Dimas Ardhana Rumawas, Jaden Ong Jun Xian and John Lau Jin Kiat in their respective categories and events.
Other podium finishers included Kaelyn Chee Wei Yi, Xin Qi, Vitus So Teng Hoe, Mellissa Nailly Darwin, Sebastien Rion Azlir, Alma Louise Bendix Dhal, Adam Jeffrey Dillon, Ong Zhi Kheam, Joelle Koo Yu Qing, Ng Ze Heng, Ryan Ee Tian Aymes and Ng Yean Yu. In addition to these, both the Boys and the Girls Relay teams brought back Golds in a remarkable display of team spirit and competitive excellence. A detailed view of the medal tally and the team positions can be downloaded from the links below.
Bringing back the Overall Championships in the majority of the total Meets for the year (8 ‘Overall Champions’ out of the 11 Swim Meets in 2022) is nothing short of a firm mark for DSA as the Top Swimming Club in the country. Such a wonderful performance never comes easy and it is the unrelenting dedication and steady guidance of the DSA Swim coaches that have been the foundation and end-result. A hearty congratulations also to the young swimmers who, despite the break in the schedules and training due to the pandemic, have been giving out their best. The steadfast support of the DSA parents, families and well-wishers are also the strength behind the Club over the years.
As we step away from the heat of the competitions for a short period of rest and relaxation, we look forward to the year ahead. Each achievement is from your own hard work and dedication, and no one can take that away from you. DSA swimmers, coaches, and parents are united as one. We swim together, train together, compete together and work together. There’s one & only one DSA.
Thank you and be proud of yourself!
Onward Team DSA, One Team, One Dream. Wishing you all the very best for 2023!!!
