More information

Former national swimmer Joscelin Yeo is Singapore’s only four-time Olympian. She swam in 19 Olympic races from 1992 to 2004.
The golden girl of Singapore swimming has remained in competitive sport for the longest time out of any female Singaporean. She made her international debut when she was just 12 at the Southeast Asian Games in 1991. Then, she brought back two silvers and three bronze medals.
She never brought home a medal in those colours again. The swimming legend would only clinch golds, 40 in total, from 1993 to 2005 in the regional tournament. She is the most decorated gold-medal-winning athlete in these Games.
Joscelin also smashed numerous national records during her career. One, the 200m individual medley, still stands. She can also lay claim to a world record, which she smashed with her University of California, Berkeley swim team in 2000. Joscelin is also the first Singaporean female swimmer to go under a minute in 100m freestyle.
Joscelin earned a Rhodes Scholarship in 2004. She also served as a non-elected nominated Member of Parliament for over two years from 2009. She also opened a swim school with her brother Leonard and now actively works in church.
