He was the team captain for the latter two, while becoming the first Singaporean to break the 4-minute barrier in the 400 meter free in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to thank the Singapore Swimming Association (SSA) for this opportunity to be part of the national set-up,&#8221; Cheah <a href=\"http:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/sport\/swimming-former-national-swimmer-marcus-cheah-appointed-as-national-training-centre-assistant\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a>. &#8220;Having represented the country with pride, I intend to fully use my experiences as a high-performance athlete to bring new energy to the team and to impart my knowledge on the swimmers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope to achieve great things under the mentorship of two great coaches, <strong>Stephan [Widmer]<\/strong> and <strong>Gary [Tan]<\/strong>, and I look forward to working with them to grow the swimming eco-system here in Singapore. Results will take time, but I believe in the process that the coaching staff has for the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tan, the Head Coach at the Centre, said he is excited to welcome Cheah onto his staff:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It brings me great pride to have another local coach, coaching alongside me,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Marcus is a great communicator and I believe he has what it takes to build NTC and its swimmers towards our ultimate goal of Tokyo 2020.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In March, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.todayonline.com\/sports\/spore-swimming-association-reward-clubs-helping-produce-national-swimmers\" target=\"_blank\">Singapore Swimming Association announced<\/a> that it was looking to fill this position as one of the many steps toward getting a relay into the finals at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>Their plan focuses on five main strategies for progression: participation, athlete development pathways, coaching education, club development, and training and development. This includes getting athlete numbers up, a club development rewards program and more.<\/p>\n<p>After the success the country had in <strong>Joseph Schooling<\/strong> and <strong>Zheng Wen<\/strong> in Rio, the SSA and NTC are putting all their effort into this goal.
