    Eric Yeo Oon Tat (17 July 1936 – 15 March 2015) was a Singaporean water polo player and three-time Asian Games medallist.[1] He also became the first Malayan swimmer since 1953 to clock under 60 seconds (58.7secs) for 100m Freestyle Men at the Chinese Swimming Club Championships.[2]

    He is most known for competing in the men's tournament at the 1956 Summer Olympics[3] and has been recognised for his efforts to helping the national waterpolo team win a total of five gold medals in the biennial Southeast Asian Peninsular (SEAP) — now known as the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games — from 1965 to 1973.
