34 NEW INTAKE

As well as spending many hours in the pool, Lim also makes time for studying and
for friends. “I have lots of friends who swim and we are very close. It is much easier to
have friends who are swimmers because they also have to get up early to practise like me
and they understand this kind of life. But I’m not so different from other people my age.
In my free time, I also enjoy going to parties and the movies. There are also some good
things about swimming for a club. I travel a lot for competitions and I have made friends
from other Malaysian cities and from other parts of the world.”

Lim is becoming well known in Malaysia and he believes it is important to get more
young people interested in swimming. “I do not mind talking to journalists and having
my photograph taken. But last year, I was on TV and that was much more fun.”
