Timeline
Amini Tuitavake Britteon Fonua (born 14 December 1989) is a Tongan competitive swimmer.
Fonua's swimming career began at the Roskill Swimming Club based at Cameron Pool in Auckland, coached by Sandra Burrow from 1999–2007.
He broke numerous Auckland and New Zealand Age Group Records under Burrow's tenure.
He then moved to West Auckland Aquatics in 2007, and was coached by Donna Bouzaid.
In the Fall of 2008, Fonua enrolled at Texas A&M on a swimming scholarship.
While at Texas A&M he was a peer voted team captain, Big XII Conference Champion, NCAA All-American, and recipient of The Aggie Heart Award.
He was "the first Tongan swimmer to win a gold medal in international competition", when he took gold in the 50 metre breaststroke at the 2010 Oceania Swimming Championships.
In preparation for the 2012 London Olympics Fonua was trained by New Zealander and designated head coach for Tonga, Jon Winter.
He served as his nation's flag-bearer in the 2012 Summer Olympics Parade of Nations.

He graduated with a Telecommunication and Multi-Media degree, with a Minor in Creative Writing in May 2013.
Fonua made an international comeback at the 2015 Pacific Games in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
He created history by becoming the first ever Tongan athlete to ever win three gold medals at a Pacific Games by sweeping the Breaststroke events, setting two Games Records in the process (50 m and 100 m Breaststroke).
He is the only Tongan athlete in history to ever hold dual Oceania and Pacific Games titles.
At the 2016 Olympics, he again competed in the 100 m breaststroke.
After The Daily Beast published a contentious piece about athletes using Grindr at the 2016 Olympics, criticized the article as 'deplorable', writing: "It is still illegal to be gay in Tonga, and while I’m strong enough to be me in front of the world, not everybody else is. Respect that."
Fonua appeared on the Summer 2017 issue of Attitude Magazine.
Fonua was born and raised in Ponsonby, Auckland, New Zealand to Tongan lawyer Sione Fonua and British-born mother Julie.
