Age: 18 years (06-10-1991)
Nationality: Dutch. I'm from the Netherlands and I live in Wormerveer, that's a place near Amsterdam (the capital of Holland).
I'm a long distance swimmer. I swim distances from 1 kilometer up to 10 kilometers.
In 2009 I competed in several 10 kilometers eventsto include theLEN CUP HOORN (14th) and the Holland National Championship in Stadskanaal (21 August 2009)where I became the national youth champion of the 10k. In October I competed in Hong Kong, my first World-Cup event. In January 2010 I competed in the FINA 10km Marathon Swimming World-Cup in Santos, Brazil, finishing in 2 hrs 21 minutes, just 7 minutes behind the winners.
I also swim as a pool swimmer the longer distances (1500m, 5000m and even 10000m). In 2010, I want to specialize on the 10k (and maybe longer).
This year, I hope to swim some more World-Cup events and LEN Trophy (European League) and some events in France and Belgium.
I live in a small town nearby Amsterdam. I live with my mother and sister.
I am a student at the Johan Cruyff University in Amsterdam (sportmarketing). The Johan Cruyff Institute for Sport Studies delivers dynamic, innovative and practical study programs to sport people worldwide. They help athletes to balance sport and study and develop management skills. The Johan Cruyff University determine component of the Cruyff Institute for sport study (CISS), the coordinating organisation for all Cruyff-schools in the Netherlands and the rest of the world. If you are a student of Johan Cruyff University you will be part of the CISS-netwerk.
In winter, I train in an inside-pool at Alkmaar. It's a 50m basin, with 8 lanes. I train there with a group of my ages and a lot of other (little) children (who wants become swimmer too).
In summer I train in a lake (Ijsselmeer). It's a lake which was in the past a sea. The put a dike between two points of the area and now the water isn't salt and there are no tides anymore.
Holland: Land of sea, windmills, tulips, cheese and
My goals for this season are:
To take a lots of experience in events in the Netherlands, Europe and World-Cup.
