PETALING JAYA: Welson Sim will be the star attraction but a few young upstarts will be out to impress as well in the Malaysia Open swimming championship in Bukit Jalil starting today.

The reigning SEA Games champion Welson, who arrived home yesterday after a four-month training stint in Melbourne, Australia, should have no problems winning today’s men’s 400m freestyle race.
