Career
He earned three bronze medals each in the 50 m freestyle from the Southeast Asian Games, and later represented Singapore at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Kwok is also an Anglo-Chinese School alumnus, and later a graduate with a bachelor of science degree in civil and structural engineering at Nanyang Technological University. Kwok competed for Singapore in the men"s 50 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.
He challenged seven other swimmers in heat four, including Kyrgyzstan"s Sergey Ashihmin, Goodwill Games silver medalist for Russia, and Kazakhstan"s two-time Olympian Sergey Borisenko.
Diving in with a 0.73-second deficit, Kwok scorched the entire race to share a fourth seed with Peru"s Luis López Hartinger in an exact time of 24.00, but finished outside an entry standard. Kwok failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-ninth overall in the prelims.
At the 2005 Southeast Asian Games in Manila, Kwok added a third bronze to his six-year-old hardware in the 50 m freestyle (2358), finishing behind Indonesia"s veteran Richard Sam Bera and Thailand"s newcomer Arwut Chinnapasaen by more than half a second (050). In early 2006, Kwok announced his official retirement from swimming to extend his resume in entrepreneurship and other lifestyle businesses.
As a part-time professional model, he has appeared in several sports magazines, print ad campaigns, and television commercials, and has featured on the cover of a popular Asian woman magazine Female.
A top-class entrepreneur, Kwok currently owns a massage and health spa called Elements Spa & Slimming, founded in April 2002.
