Swimming squad to forge on without Yi Ting, Ian

Ian James Barr went for an operation in September and is now going for rehabilitation. It will be about six months before he can swim competitively.

KUALA LUMPUR: A 14-member swimming squad will head to Naypyitaw for the Myanmar SEA Games without seasoned campaigner Siow Yi Ting and promising youngster Ian James Barr.

While multiple SEA Games gold medallist breaststroke swimmer Yi Ting has handed in her resignation letter to notify Amateur Swimming Union of Malaysia (Asum) of her intention to quit, Pahang Sukma gold medallist Ian is skipping the Games after undergoing surgery to correct a bone spur problem.
