Camille Cheng is a three-time Olympian who has represented Hong Kong on the world stage with discipline, grace, and quiet determination. A freestyle swimmer and seven-time Asian Games medallist, she competed at Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020, and Paris 2024 — carrying both national pride and a deep commitment to mental wellbeing.
Born in Hong Kong to a Taiwanese father and French mother, Camille grew up between cultures and cities — Hong Kong, Beijing, and later California. She swam for the University of California, Berkeley, and went on to become one of Hong Kong’s most consistent international swimmers.
Beyond the pool, she is a psychology graduate (currently a sports and performance psychologist in training), co-founder of the youth mental health charity Mind the Waves, and an IOC Mental Health Ambassador. After years of elite competition, she uses her platform to advocate for mental health in sport and beyond, encouraging young people and athletes to treat mental strength with the same seriousness as physical training — and to see asking for support as courage, not weakness.
