Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best swimming memory, was the first time I swam the qualifying time for the Dutch Youth Championship. I had worked really hard and long for it. It felt a bit unrealistic because it always looked so far away, but reaching this goal showed me that I can achieve everything when I put the effort in it.
Goals:
For this season I am really exited to swim in the Dutch Open Championships for the first time. My main goal for the year is to improve my breaststroke as it is my best stroke and I think I have a lot of potential to get even better at it!
Anything else we should know?
I am a always eager to learn and to get better!
