Source-derived summary

Zeke Chan Zhi Yue (Chinese: 曾子悦; pinyin: Zēng Zǐyuè; born 30 August 2007) is a Bruneian swimmer who competed in the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Early life and education

Chan attends Jerudong International School in addition to swimming for the Brunei national team. At nine years old, he began taking swim classes. However, it wasn't until he was eleven years old that he began swimming competitively with his childhood swimming club, Mabohai Swimming Club. He has pursued a variety of different interests over the years, including boxing, basketball, drumming, and other sports. He represented his school at the swimming competition during the 1st Brunei Darussalam Schools Games.

He completed his IGCSE Edexcel course with 6 A*s, 1 A, and 2 Bs, despite the fact that he trains nine times a week (twice a day on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday). He said that he will pursue the International Baccalaureate for his pre-university course, and that swimming would be an integral component of his university preparation.

Swimming career

Chan, the youngest contender from Brunei, improved his performance from 35.20 seconds to 34.61 seconds in the boys' 13 and under 50-mter butterfly event on 11 November 2017, during the 41st Southeast Asian Age Groups Swimming Championships.

On 24 June 2022, Chan finished 14th in the men's 200-meter freestyle, clocking in at 2:00.46s, at the 17th Singapore National Championships.
