Keeping in track with the National Sports Day on October 10th, the Inaugural Short Course Swimming Competition was hosted by ASUM on 10th and 11th October at the National Aquatic Centre, Bukit Jalil. DSA Swim Team sent its largest contingent to date with 117 swimmers participating in the two day event. With many a first-timer joining in, the home group gave the swimmers a good boost of confidence, resulting in an overall great performance from all the swimmers.

Notable performers included Darren Lew Chen Jet with 4 Gold, Lim Shun Qi with 3 Gold and Sean Goh Min Chang with 2 Gold in the many events. Other Gold winners included Koh Teck Chen, Yumi Okuzono, Lim Zi Win and Grace Gan Qian Huei. There was also a good number of Silver medalists bringing up the total tally of 13 Gold, 19 Silver and 12 Bronze for the two days of competition. A great performance by the team and an enriching experience for the first-timers; the swimmers now have to prepare for the last event of the year coming up next month, The President Cup 2015.

The Swimming Calendar for the year 2015 is in its last quarter with the Grand Final of the Sport Excel-Milo NSC ASUM Junior Swimming Circuit being the last Meet before the President Cup slated for the end of November. This year the Grand Final saw a team of 16 swimmers from DSA Swim Team being qualified to participate as against 11 in the previous year. However, the performance of the swimmers this year was outstanding with the points going up almost 4 times, from 44 points last year to 153 points this year. This resulted in a boost in the overall position of DSA Swim Team to THIRD place as compared to 11th place last year. That in itself is a remarkable tribute both to the swimmers and the coaches and all the support that the team received in getting there.

Sterling performers included Darren Lew Chen Jet with 3 Gold, Wesley Kam Zhuo Wei and Sean Goh Min Chang with 1 Gold each. They also received Special awards in their categories for Best performances.

The SPORTEXCEL/MILO/NSC/ASUM Junior Swimming Circuit 2nd Leg 2015, was held at Pusat Akuatik Darul Ehsan, Selangor. Being a covered pool, the 2 day event was a pleasant experience with both days events going smoothly. DSA Swim Club made a creditable performance though some of the swimmers who had already gained enough points to qualify for the final, rested for this meet. With a total strength of 54, DSA Swim Club garnered a total of 692.50 points and moving up to 6th position overall.

The medal winners included Lew Chen Jet who beat strong contenders to take the Gold in the 50m Freestyle. He also won Bronze for 50m and 100m Back stroke and also for 100m freestyle. It was a great performance by Lew Chen Jet which boosted the spirits of everyone on the team. Other medal winners included Koh Teck Chen who did well in his favourite events, winning Bronze for both 50m and 100m Butterfly. The swimmers will be training up for the latter part of the swimming calendar year, which will see the Grand Final of the circuit and also the big, all important President Cup in November.

A big thank you to the parents for their constant support of the swimmers and the guidance of DSA coaches as they continue to prep up the swimmers for the next and oncoming meets with their steadfast mentoring and support.
