Tessa Neo, Jasmine Ser, and Martina Lindsay Veloso took the top three spots, but the bronze medal was awarded to Malaysia as countries could only win a maximum of two individual medals per event.

Our swimmers started their SEA Games campaign in style, winning the most medals at two golds, two silvers, and two bronzes in six events.
