This year's MSPP Swimming competition was held at the PERMATA Sports Complex in Paya Terubong. The change of venue compared to that of previous years was due to the closure of the PISA Swimming Pool. The event was held on the 16th to the 18th of February 2011.

Besides the MSSPP competition our swimming team has taken part in many other competitions such as the 48th PASA-USM Inter-age Group Swimming Championship in at the USM Swimming Pool and the 8th Kedah Invitational Open 2011 at the Gua Keriang Swimming Stadium, Kedah.

Well, before I sign off, I like to take the opportunity to thank Miss Lim Bee Ling, our swimming advisor, and the school for having so much faith in us throughout the years. A big thank you to our parents and coaches for dealing with our lazy attitudes before, during and after training. And finally, THANK YOU all you members of the MGS Swimming Team 2011. Without you, none of this would have been possible.
