Alex Fong's Background
Meet Our Co-Founder & Chief Coach: Alex Fong
"I believe in leading by example - and it all begins by stepping into the water."
Alex Fong's journey with swimming began at the age of two. The discipline and training of his youth did more than just create a champion; they forged his character. Alex attributes his success to the unwavering support of his parents and coaches, who nurtured his aspirations and taught him the value of sacrifice, perseverance, and compassion.
A Legacy of Excellence
A former Hong Kong Olympian (Sydney 2000) and a two-time Olympic torchbearer (2004 and 2008), Alex is one of the most accomplished swimmers in Hong Kong's history. For over 21 years, he held the national records for the 200m Backstroke and 400m Individual Medley — the longest-standing records in Hong Kong's history.
Alex continues to lead by example. In August 2025, he secured three gold medals and broke multiple records at the World Aquatics Masters Championships in Singapore (Men's 45–49 age group), proving that passion for the water knows no age.
Beyond the Pool
Recognized as one of JCI Hong Kong's Ten Outstanding Young Persons (2014), Alex has spent nearly two decades as a dedicated artist and philanthropist. As an ambassador for various notable charities, he remains deeply committed to health advocacy, youth development, and giving back to the community.
The HKSA Vision
At the Hong Kong Swimming Academy (HKSA), Alex translates his lifetime of elite experience into a coaching philosophy that focuses on proper technique, progressive training, and mental resilience. Under his leadership, HKSA provides a values-driven education, helping swimmers of all levels develop the confidence and character needed to excel both in and out of the water.
