Ian is a swimmer from HKG, an Olympian and a sprinter, whose official competitive record spans 11 seasons, 13 countries and 57 meets.
His recorded career begins in 2016, and one of his earliest marks still on file is the 100 freestyle in 49.49, raced in Tokyo.
His signature event is the 50 freestyle, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 100 freestyle and 50 butterfly. Freestyle is the backbone of the whole record: 56 meets and 88 recorded swims.
His fastest 50 freestyle stands at 21.71, set in long course (50 m) at 15th National Games of the People’s Republic of China Swimming 2025 (50m).
He has raced at the Olympic Games level, between 2021 and 2024 (Hong Kong National Olympic Time Trial and Olympic Games Tokyo 2020). A representative mark at that level is 22.12 in the 50 freestyle, recorded in long course (50 m). He also appears in world championships, the World Cup circuit, national championships and international meets.
The record runs unbroken from 2016 to 2026: 11 consecutive seasons without a single missing year.
He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 13 countries (the United States, HKG, France, Spain, Monaco, China, Hungary, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia, Italy and the United Arab Emirates), including 44 of 57 meets outside HKG.
