Opening the evening's competition, swimmer Tran Hung Nguyen finished first in the men's 200m individual medley with a time of 2 minutes 02.11 seconds, winning the gold medal. This was the third gold medal for the Vietnamese delegation on December 10th.

In women's swimming, young swimmer Vo Thi My Tien won the silver medal in the 200m butterfly with a time of 2 minutes 12.10 seconds.

In the 200m butterfly, she competed against many strong opponents such as the reigning champion Singapore and the host country Thailand.

In the men's 100m freestyle, 17-year-old Tran Van Nguyen Quoc won the bronze medal with a time of 50.02 seconds. This was Nguyen Quoc's first time participating in the SEA Games. Also in this event, finishing in 4th place was Luong Jeremie Loic Nino, another promising young Vietnamese swimmer.

In the women's 50m breaststroke, 16-year-old Nguyen Thuy Hien started in lane 6. She finished in 5th place (31.95 seconds), behind competitors from Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia. This is not Thuy Hien's strongest event, but she is expected to perform well in the following days of competition.

In the women's 4x100m freestyle relay, the Vietnamese team won another bronze medal, concluding the first day of competition with five medals for the Vietnamese swimming team.

At the 33rd SEA Games, the Vietnamese swimming team was expected to continue its best form, similar to previous seasons. Winning five medals on the first day of competition, including a gold medal, was a very good start for the Vietnamese swimming team.
