Samantha Louisa Ginn Yeo (born 24 January 1997) is an Singaporean breaststroke and medley swimmer. Competing in her first of three Southeast Asian Games at just 12 years of age, Yeo has represented her country at the long course and short course World Championships, the FINA World Cup, Asian Games, Asian Swimming Championships, Commonwealth Games, Youth Olympic Games and Asian Youth Games.

Career

2008–2010

Yeo first competed for Singapore at the age of 11, contesting the 100 metre backstroke and 200 metre individual medley at the 32nd Southeast Asian Age Group Swimming Championships in Bangkok, Thailand in June 2008. She then took part in the 2008 Pacific School Games in Canberra, Australia where she won five medals, including gold in the 50 metre backstroke and in the 4 × 50 metre freestyle relay.

Four months later, now aged 12, Yeo, representing the Ace Swim Club at the 7th ASEAN Inter-Club Age Group Swimming Championships in Singapore, won eight medals – six gold and two silver – and set two meet records. Following a successful meet at the 33rd Southeast Asian Age Group Swimming Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where she picked up five medals, Yeo completed in her first Hong Kong International Open in September 2009. Winning silver in the 200 metre breaststroke in a new personal best time of 2:37.83, she finished just 0.07 seconds behind compatriot Cheryl Lim with both girls swimming under Fiona Ma's 2007 meet record of 2:37.88. Yeo then teamed up with Amanda Lim, Mylene Ong and Koh Ting Ting to also take silver in the 4 × 100 metre freestyle relay. Yeo was given a lead of over 2 seconds in the final changeover but the South China Athletic Association team's anchor Jennifer Town swam her down to win the relay by 0.46 seconds. Both teams swam under the meet record of 3:56.58, set by the Singaporean quartet of Ong, Ruth Ho, Quah Ting Wen and Tao Li at the 2007 Open.

In November, at the final leg of the 2009 FINA Swimming World Cup in Singapore, Yeo reached the final of the three breaststroke events then closed out the year by finishing fourth in the 200 metre breaststroke at the 2009 Southeast Asian Games in Vientiane, Laos in a new national under-14's record time of 2:36.04, improving on Nicolette Teo's previous mark of 2:36.27 set at the 1999 Southeast Asian Games. This feat added to the national under-14's 100 metre breaststroke record she broke at the 2009 National Schools Swimming Championships six months earlier. Stopping the clock at 1:14.05, this shaved 0.02 seconds off Joscelin Yeo's time set at the Asia Pacific Swimming Meet in September 1991.

Eight months later at the 51st National Schools Swimming Championships, Yeo lowered the under-14's 100 metre breaststroke national record a further three times. In the heats of the under 13's 100 metre breaststroke event, Yeo was the fastest qualifier in 1:14.02. Two days later, she lowered it again to 1:13.84 during the heats of the under-14's 200 metre breaststroke event. In the 100 metre breaststroke final, Yeo blitzed the field by winning gold in 1:13.20, wiping 0.64 seconds from the record. Yeo also went on to win the 200 metre breaststroke final in 2:37.22, slightly slower than her meet record time of 2:36.96 set during the heats. Yeo was also part of the team that won gold in 4 × 50 metre freestyle relay and silver in the 4 × 50 metre medley relay.

This was followed by another highly successful meet at the 34th Southeast Asian Age Group Swimming Championships in Manila, Philippines, where she won nine medals from nine events and broke a further two meet records. Three months later, she won gold in the 4 × 100 metre medley relay with Lynette Ng, Tao Li and Mylene Ong at the 2010 Hong Kong International Open, where she also won bronze in the 100 metre breaststroke. Qualifying third fastest in the heats in 1:13.13, she broke her own national under-14's record by 0.07 seconds. In the final, she lowered it again to 1:12.77, the sixth time she had done so in 14 months.

At her home leg of the 2010 FINA Swimming World Cup, Yeo set her first national open record when she finished 5th in the 200 metre breaststroke in 2:34.27 and finished the year by setting a new national under-14's record time of 33.53 in the 50 metre breaststroke at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.

2011

Yeo began the year by equalling her national under-14's record of 2:36.04 in the 200 metre breaststroke at the 2011 Victorian Open Championships in Melbourne. She followed this up by winning four medals at the 52nd National Schools Swimming Championships. Taking out the 50 and 100 metre breaststroke events in new meet record times, Yeo also lowered her personal best in the 100 metre event twice. She then lowered her personal best time in the 50 metre breaststroke to 33.35 at the 35th Southeast Asian Age Group Swimming Championships in Da Nang, Vietnam, where she won four medals.

Two months later, at the 2011 Singapore Championships, Yeo won her first national title in the 50 metre breaststroke, finishing 0.20 seconds shy of Nicolette Teo's 2006 meet record of 33.49. Yeo continued her record-breaking success at the 2011 ASEAN School Games in Singapore. Bagging two golds, a silver and a bronze medal, Yeo won gold in the 4 × 100 metre medley relay in a new national under-17's record of 4:20.37, with Meagan Lim, Zerlynn Tiang and Koh Hui Yu, wiping off over four seconds from the previous record set at the 2006 Hong Kong International Open. In the 4 × 100 metre freestyle relay, Yeo with Marina Chan, Xiu Wen Yeo and Koh Hui Yu won silver in 3:57.24, well under the 2010 meet record time of 3:59.87. The time also bettered the national under-17's record of 3:57.68, set in April 2005. Individually, Yeo won gold in the 100 metre breaststroke in a new meet record time and bronze in the 50 metre freestyle.

In November, Yeo set a new national short course record of 32.90 in the 50 metre breaststroke at the Singaporean leg of the 2011 FINA Swimming World Cup and finished the season with two medals at the 2011 Southeast Asian Games in Palembang, Indonesia. She won bronze in the 200 metre breaststroke and with Amanda Lim, Tao Li and Shana Lim won gold in the 4 × 100 metre medley relay.

Taking out the 200 metre breaststroke in a new meet record time of 2:36.25, she finished over four seconds ahead of her nearest rival. In the 100 metre breaststroke, she broke the meet record twice and was only 0.03 seconds off her personal best time. Her final gold was won in the 4 × 50 metre freestyle relay with Jolene Tan, Song Ai Vee and Yeo Xiu Wen. She then backed this up with a three medal haul at the inaugural Southeast Asian Swimming Championships in Singapore. With Shana Lim, Tao Li and Mylene Ong, Yeo set the first championship record in the 4 × 100 metre medley relay with a time of 4:17.99 and individually won bronze in the 50 metre breaststroke, bronze in the 200 metre individual medley and finished 4th in the 200 metre breaststroke in 2:34.93, smashing her personal best by over a second.

Another successful ASEAN School Games meet in Surabaya, Indonesia followed with Yeo picking six medals including two gold and another national under 17's record in the 4 × 100 metre freestyle relay. At the National Championships a month later, Yeo claimed the national title in the 100 metre breaststroke in new personal best time of 1:11.87, breaking the 1:12.00 barrier for the first time. This time also broke Joscelin Yeo's seven year old meet record of 1:12.36 and only 30 minutes early was runner-up in the 400 metre individual medley. The following week at the SSA Grand Prix short course event, Yeo set a further two national open records. In the 200 metre breaststroke, she slashed four seconds from her 2010 record to lower it to 2:30.14 and in the 100 metre breaststroke Yeo swam 1:10.04 to break Cheryl Lim's 2009 mark of 1:10.68.

In November, Yeo lowered her own national mark in the 50 metre breaststroke to 32.75 at the Tokyo leg of the 2012 FINA Swimming World Cup. Seven days later at the eighth and final leg in Singapore, Yeo set two more national records. In the 200 metre breaststroke, the time was lowered to 2:29.74 and in the 50 metre breaststroke she stopped the clock at 32.72, wiping 0.03 seconds from her record set in Tokyo. After finishing equal third in the 50 metre breaststroke in a new personal best time of 33.09 at the Dubai Asian Swimming Championships, Yeo set a further two national records at the 2012 FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m) in Istanbul. Although she did not advance to the semifinals, Yeo clocked 1:09.28 in the 100 metre breaststroke to wipe 0.76 seconds from her previous mark and clocked 32.63 in the 50 metre breaststroke, improving on her previous record by 0.09 seconds.

2013

Yeo began the year by defending her title in the 100 metre breaststroke at the 54th National Schools Swimming Championships. Claiming victory with a time of 1:11.90, this broke her her own meet record and came within 0.03 seconds of her personal best time. She also swam her quickest-ever first 50 metre split in 33.55 seconds, and went on to finish 5.20 seconds ahead of her nearest competitor. In the 200 metre breaststroke, Yeo won silver in a new national 17's record time of 2:34.07, shaving 0.22 seconds off the mark set by Nicolette Teo at the 2002 California-Nevada Summer Championships. Finishing 0.49 seconds behind Phiangkhwan Pawapotako, both swimmers swam well under Yeo's 2012 meet record of 2:36.25 and Yeo also bettered her previous personal best by 0.86 seconds. Yeo was also part of the team that won 4 × 50 metre freestyle relay and the 4 × 50 metre medley relay.

Two months later, Yeo took out four titles at the 2013 Singapore Championships, her best results at the Nationals to date. In the heats of 100 metre breaststroke, Yeo set a new personal best time of 1:11.57, lowering it by 0.33 seconds.

The time slashed a further 1.08 seconds from her personal best and came with 0.34 seconds Nicolette Teo's national open record of 1:10.15. In the 200 metre breaststroke, Yeo won gold in a 2:32.34, lowering her own national 17's record and set a new meet record. She completed the set by taking out the 50 metre breaststroke in 33.01, in another new meet record and personal best time. Her final gold medal was won in the 200 metre individual medley in a new personal best and meet record time of 2:19.11. Yeo also won silver in the 400 metre individual medley.

In August, Yeo set another personal best time in the 50 metre breaststroke event at the 2013 World Aquatics Championships in Barcelona. Clocking 32.69, this came within a quarter of a second of Roanne Ho's national open and under 17's record of 32.44.

After missing the inaugural Asian Youth Games in 2009 due to age restrictions, Yeo won five medals at the 2013 Asian Youth Games in Nanjing including gold in the 50 metre breaststroke in a new personal best of 32.56. Yeo collected silver in the 100 metre breaststroke, 200 metre breaststroke, 4 × 100 metre medley relay with Marina Chan, Stacy Tan, Meagan Lim and 4 × 100 metre freestyle relay alongside Chan, Hoong En Qi, Rachel Tseng in a new national 17's record time of 3:54.67, slashing 1.88 seconds from the previous mark.

"But I'm really grateful to be back and competing at my third SEA Games. A lot of credit has to go to my family and coach for these two medals. All things considered, I couldn't have asked for a better end to my campaign."

Yeo closed out the year by winning two medals at her third Southeast Asian Games in Naypyidaw, Burma. In the 4 × 100 metre medley relay, Yeo with Tao Li, Amanda Lim and Quah Ting Wen won gold in 4:13.02, extending Singapore's winning streak in the event to six. In her individual events, Yeo won bronze in the 200 metre breaststroke in 2:34.27, 4th in the 100 metre breaststroke in 1:12.79 and 6th in the 200 metre individual medley in 2:22.51. Yeo was delighted with her results, considering the injury sustained to her leg only eight week prior. She said "I was devastated because when I got injured, we were on the verge of giving up these SEA Games for the good of my long-term competitive future. We had just two weeks of training and it took a toll on me not just physically but also mentally, because there was also the fear of a recurrence of the injury." Her coach, David Lim revealed that Yeo training regime increased to three times a day in the last week to make up for lost time in terms of fitness.

2014

Yeo commenced 2014 by competing in her fifth National Schools Swimming Championships. Swimming in the 16–19 age group, the 17 year old won gold in the 200 metre breaststroke in 2:34.17.

In the heats of the 100 metre breaststroke, Yeo was the fastest qualifier in a meet record time of 1:12.58, elipsing Cheryl Lim's 1:14.06 set in 2011. In the final, Yeo clocked a time of 1:11.65 but was disqualified for executing alternating kicks. The time would have been a new meet record and gold medal. Devastated by the result, she told the The Straits Times that it was the third time this year that she been disqualified for her kicks. However, she later teamed up with Jing Wen Shan, Madeline Quek and Song Ai Vee to win gold in the 4 × 50 metre medley relay with in 2:02.88, shaving 0.03 seconds off Raffles's 2012 meet record and the same quartet won gold in the 4 × 50 metre freestyle relay in 1:50.44, narrowly missing the meet record of 1:49.24.

At the 2014 Southeast Asian Swimming Championships in Singapore, Yeo won four medals including gold in the 100 metre breaststroke in 1:12.26. Though she finished 0.3 seconds ahead of the field, she was still disappointed, stating that "there are many areas that I have to work on, my time wasn't my personal best and I was definitely looking for a better time". She also won silver in the 50 metre breaststroke in 33.39, finishing just 0.04 seconds behind her compatriot Roanne Ho silver in the 200 metre breaststroke in 2:35.95 and in the 4 × 100 metre medley relay Yeo with Marina Chan, Amanda Lim and Tan Jing-E won silver in 4:15.54.
