Celebrating MySwim Coaching's 10th Anniversary of empowering adults to swim and establishing the largest adults swim community in Malaysia.

Ridzwan Rahim 47, from Malaysia, has placed his name in history as the first person to conquer the challenging 25KM swim from Redang Island to Pantai Bari, Terengganu. But this incredible achievement didn't come easy. He faced the daunting channel not once but twice! In March 2022, the ocean tested him mentally and physically and ended in disappointment. However, Ridzwan persevered. On the 24th of June 2023, he dove back into those waters, determined to succeed, and swam the channel, setting the first record in 20 hours, 42 minutes, and 26 seconds.
