Overall champion for the Primary School went to Lee Jia Jing of Taylors International School whilst Secondary School’s overall champion was earned by Keith Lim of SMK Taman Connaught with their excellent record breaking feat. 

Jia Jing and Keith are under the PRAKL (Kuala Lumpur Amateur Swimming Association) Squad coached by Coach He Tinglan.

In 100m butterfly, gifted swimmer Jia Jing broke a long-standing 1997 record belonging to Wong Kin Wai of 1:10.54 as he renewed the time at 1:09.58. Another record belonging to Ian James Barr of 2:37.52 in 200m IM was also wrecked when Jia Jing sprinted with his mighty swim and tapped the board at 2:33.74. In addition, he also bettered his own record time at 1:19.26 in 100m breaststroke.

SMK Taman Connaught is the proudest record producer as Keith Lim who represented his school racked up 6 new meet records out of the 9 events he took.  Keith not only broke the meet records but also drowned the MSSM records in several events with his powerful swim.

In 50m freestyle, Keith refreshed his own time and went on to break the MSSM national record of 24.35s previously held by Allen Ong in 1997 by clocking a new time of 24.29s. Another MSSM national record belonging to Foo Jian Beng in 50m butterfly (MSSM 2006 : 26.32s) was also shattered by Keith when he touched in record time of 25.83s.


On top of all the glory, he rewrote the meet records in 100m backstroke with a new time of 1:02.38 (old record : 1:03.44), 100m fly 58.26s (59.27s), 400m IM 5:01.95 (5:04.34), 50m backstroke 28.13s (28.62s) and 100m freestyle 53.79s (53.81s).
