Swimmers and coaches will take part in clinics, training sessions, mini meets and presentations with members of the Malaysian swimming community as well as social events and sightseeing.

The tour will be staffed by Swimming WA Development Officer, Sam Hunt, West Australian Institute of Sport Swimming Performance Manager, Greg Hodge, Injury Specialist from Murdoch University, Mark Hecimovich and two WA coaches Mel Tantrum and Michael Shaw.
