Ang Peng Siong

Ang Peng Siong BBM (born 27 October 1962) is a Singaporean former competitive swimmer and coach. A two-time Olympian, Ang set national records in swimming for the 50 m freestyle at 22.69 seconds and the 100 m freestyle at 51.09 seconds, which stood for 33 and 27 years, respectively.

Having trained in swimming since he was young, he made his swimming debut at the 1977 SEA Games and participated at the 1978 Asian Games. Ang's performance at the 1980 Hawaii International Invitational Swimming Championship, where he attained a time of 23.22 seconds in the 50 m freestyle, led him to be offered a scholarship and he subsequently attended the University of Houston, where he trained under American coach Phil Hansel from 1980 to 1986. At the 1982 United States Swimming Championships, he set the national record in the 50 m freestyle with 22.69 seconds, being named the "World's Fastest Swimmer" by magazine Swimming World. He would make subsequent appearances at the SEA Games and the Asian Games throughout the 1980s to 1990s in swimming.

Upon not receiving sufficient funding for training in the United States for the 1994 Asian Games, Ang announced his retirement from competitive swimming in August 1993. He has since worked as a coach, previously serving as Singapore's head national swimming coach from 1998 to 2012. Ang was ranked fifth in a public poll of Singapore's fifty best sportspeople of the century held by The Straits Times in 1999. He was also named Sportsman of the Year by the Singapore National Olympic Council for three consecutive years from 1982 to 1984.
