Olympic Gold Medallist, Joseph Schooling’s story is one of inspiration. He started competing at the tender age of six, breaking records and clocking times that made everyone take notice. He left Singapore to train in the USA at 14 years old and made his Olympic debut at the London Olympic Games in 2012 as the youngest member of Singapore’s contingent. He returned to the Olympic stage in 2016 and created history by winning Singapore’s first Olympic swimming gold, first Olympic gold of any kind, in the 100m Butterfly. Joseph also has multiple gold medals from the Asian Games and SEA Games under his belt.
Having retired from competitive swimming, he is pursuing his passions outside of the pool; he’s going into the VC space and continuing to build and expand on the offerings of his swim academy, Sport Schooling. He hopes to make use of his platform to inspire and help others go after their dreams.
Joseph is also a speaker at Beyond Activ World in Singapore.
