Coachingedit
Tan formerly worked at Swimfast Aquatic Club as a coach[1] and also a director at Swimlab. He was also the head coach of the Phoenix Swim Team, which represents UWCSEA (United World College of South East Asia) Dover.[citation needed]
In 2011, Tan was suspended for a year for consideration for national coach accreditation after assisting a swimmer, Jeffrey Su, from Swimfast Aquatic Club to be absent without official leave when Su was supposed to be at Singapore Sports Council's physiotherapy and recovery sessions.[2][3]
In 2014, he was named as assistant coach to Singapore's national swimming team[4] and appointed to be the national coach in 2016 after the former national coach, Sergio Lopez, left after the 2016 Summer Olympics at Rio de Janeiro.[5][6]
He was named Coach of the Year at the 2018 Singapore Sports Awards, at that time the fourth year in a row that a swimming coach had taken the award.[7]
