Saw Yi Khy (born 1 July 1986) is a Malaysian former swimmer, who specialised in long-distance freestyle events.[1] He clinched a bronze medal in the 1500 m freestyle at the 2003 Southeast Asian Games in Hanoi, Vietnam with a time of 16:07.22.[2][3] Saw is also a former varsity swimmer for the Bolles School Sharks in Jacksonville, Florida, alongside his teammate Siow Yi Ting.[4]
Saw qualified for the men's 1500 m freestyle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by eclipsing a FINA B-cut of 15:58.19 from the Malaysian Open in Kuala Lumpur.[5][6] Saw participated in the first heat against two other swimmers Giancarlo Zolezzi of Chile and defending SEA Games silver medalist Charnvudth Saengsri of Thailand. He rounded out a small field to last place by a 5.86-second margin behind Zolezzi in 16:06.38. Saw failed to advance into the final, as he placed thirty-second overall in the preliminaries.[7][8]
Apart from his duties in Bolles School, Saw is also a member of the swimming team for North Carolina Tar Heels, and a business administration graduate at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
