Aiming to endorse Open Water Swimming (OWS) as a recreational, fitness, sports, and marine conservation awareness activity in Langkawi, this initiative by the Langkawi Swim Festival (LSF) stands out. LSF proudly holds the distinction of being the first swimming event in Malaysia and Southeast Asia officially sanctioned by the World Open Water Swimming Association (WOWSA). By introducing and championing OWS, LSF not only advocates for healthy lifestyle choices but also pioneers international recognition for the region, placing Langkawi on the map as a prime destination for open water swimming enthusiasts and fostering marine conservation consciousness.
