Jointly organised by Parenthood Media Network and award-winning swim school SwimIn12, ACLF 2025 broke boundaries—not just in the pool, but in leadership—by empowering kids to take on roles typically reserved for adults. The youth-led organising committee, supported by Official Kids Coaching Partner Super Avatar, coordinated every detail, from hosting to logistics, setting a powerful precedent for child-led events in Malaysia.
Far beyond a typical sports day, ACLF 2025 was a vibrant showcase of children’s capabilities in leadership, teamwork, and resilience. The event kicked off with an energetic opening ceremony featuring classical drummers, electrifying dance performances by Bolly On Studio, and a showcase by Team SwimIn12.
For the first time, children emcees from DJ Playground also took over hosting duties, announcing races, and engaging the crowd— marking a first-of-its-kind experience for many young leaders.
Moreover, ACLF 2025 was officially recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records for assembling the “Most Children in a Swimming Competition Organising Committee.” The announcement was made during the prize-giving ceremony, drawing roaring applause from attendees and dignitaries alike.
