Background: In collaboration of Persatuan Renang PARA WP Kuala Lumpur, Persatuan Renang Para Malaysia, we are creating this inaugural event to provide platform the all PARA and autism special ability swimmers to experience and to compete in openwater swimming event. We hope our effort will spur more pool-based PARA swimmers to be involved OWS and expand their capability and talent to swim in openwater environment.
Q&A: I am a normal swimmer, could I join? Yes you can join. As a normal swimmer, you can either sign up for 1.5KM normal swim or "Swim like Sabki". The later is to swim with a single arm stroke. Normal kids (7-12 years old) or an adult could join 500m fun swim too.
Q&A: How do I swim with single arm? Use only one arm at a time, right or left for every stroke; you may exchange it at any time. Your non-stroking arm can be extended in front your body or may be left trailing along your body.
