Host Vietnam came in second with a total of 25 medals at 11 gold medals, 11 silver medals and three bronze medals.

The Philippines team was also disqualified. Malaysia team coach Chris Martin said one of the Malaysian swimmers had entered the pool 0.12 s early during a changeover at the block.[3] A Singapore swimmer was also reportedly left his block early.[4] As a result, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand were awarded the gold, silver and bronze medals respectively.[5][6]

A total of 10 SEA games records and 13 national records were broken.
