Maximum Effort To Smash 3 Swimming National Records

16th FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) 2022


Up against other human torpedoes at the 16th FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) 2022, Maximillian Ang Wei challenged himself to do his best and better his own records in the pool. Max competed in the 6-days event from 13 to 18 December 2022 in Melbourne, Australia, and propelled himself to greater heights by clocking three new national records and surpassing his personal best timings!

Max recorded 27.09 in the Men’s 50m Breaststroke, 58.10 in the Men’s 100m Breaststroke and 2:08.12 in the Men’s 200m Breaststroke. These timings will undoubtedly be on his radar to better in the upcoming year.

We caught up with Max who shared, “I would say that I am satisfied with my overall performance because I did my best and set three new national records. This inspires me to continue working hard for future meets and do my country proud. I was hoping to perform better for my Individual Medley event but it’s okay because I learn from every race. I learnt to have a better race plan for short course because it is different from long course. There are different strategies that I need to try out and see what works for me.”

Max wrapped up a stellar year having competed and medalled in the 31st SEA Games, as well as featuring in the Commonwealth Games. We will be cheering him on for more successes in the future!
