Dato Abdul Malik Mydin (born 1975) is a Malaysian solo long-distance swimmer, hailing from Penang.
He was notable as the first Malaysian and Southeast Asian to swim across the English Channel on 3 August 2003, successfully completing the journey in 17 hours and 42 minutes.
Malik finished sixth in a 26 km on the Lake Zurich Swim in Switzerland in August 2002,[1] among 22 international swimmers.
[2] The swim was initially delayed to late July due to weather, and was finally organised on 3 August.
However, his record lasted less than a year, and was broken on 13 July 2004 by fellow Malaysian, 20-year-old Lennard Lee who swam the channel in 9 hours and 45 minutes.
