Amanda Lim is all smiles after winning the 50m freestyle final on November 15th. She defended her title won in 2009 and also broke her own Games record. (Photo 3 by Nicky Loh/Getty Images for SSC)
Danny Yeo with the 200m freestyle gold that he won on November 13th. He won three gold medals and a silver to emerge as the most bemedalled male Singaporean swimmer. (Photo 4 by Matt King/Getty Images for SSC)
Teo Zhen Ren celebrates his 1500m gold on November 17th. He shattered his national record by 11 seconds and became the first Singaporean to win this event at the Games since 1979. (Photo 5 by Matt King/Getty Images for SSC)
Quah Zheng Wen celebrates winning the men’s 400m individual medley final on November 12th with a new national record. Aside from this event, he also swam in individual events in three different strokes and clocked a personal best in every one of them. (Photo 6 by Matt King/Getty Images for SSC)
Sutanto was the best swimmer who didn’t win any gold medals. His times in the back and fly would have won him gold in most other editions of the sea games. Now he got to contend with the likes of schooling, quy hoang and igede siman who are all much younger than he is.
Oh, and i would just like to say that the 17 golds was a very pleasant surprise. because i was one of those doubters who really worried the team would struggle without Quah Ting Wen and Lynette Lim. But the mens’ team pulled off a great surprise
Erwin, Clement swam the free leg of the medley relay, not Danny. I’m very sure from the video I still have that it was Clement who swam
Thanks for the correction. Table updated.
Hi guys, you can see the detailed results including the splits in the following link:-

Judging from the performance of our swimmers (and their age profile) in the SEA games, the future of Singapore swimming looks great!
Hi AKNG,
Thanks for the link! Some great relay splits there by our swimmers. Story and tables updated.
thanks for the split times! very very interesting. Koh Hui Yu clocked a huge PB in the opening leg of the 4×200 Free. Samantha’s time in the breast leg was also quick, as were both Tao Li’s free swims
May I know where is the results for 4x100m IM men split times?
for aquatic events in total, spore lost the crown to malaysia
swimming 5
diving 7
s.swimming 5
open water 2
total 19
then you can add waterpolo, and then we are on par with malaysia. but can you please for god’s sake just celebrate the success instead of talking about something irrelevant?
Hi Pareira,
Thanks for the information. This review is only on swimming, hence the headline “SEA Games Swimming”.
fantastic article, just amazing. would be great if we could have the split times of the relays? i only know clement’s 50.68 and tao li’s 58.66 (fly leg) that were in the papers. i know schooling’s coach said he swam a 52.45 fly leg in the disqualified medley relay
Hi Applemy,
Thanks! Yes, we are searching high and low for the relay splits as well.
52.45…that’s awesome. Although I recall he did not make up much ground on Sutanto on the fly leg.
My bad, Joseph swam a 52.43, not 52.45. 0.02s more awesome, haha. But he didnt make up ground, because Sutanto actually split a 51.96. So Schooling did lose out in the fly leg
