Tes Schouten & Arno Kamminga Among Netherlands Team Set For European Short-Course Championships

Tes Schouten and Arno Kamminga are among a 20-strong Netherlands team announced for the European Short-Course Championships in Romania next month.

Seven men and 13 women will make the trip to Otopeni for the meet running from 5-10 December.

Schouten won 200m breaststroke bronze at the World Championships in Fukuoka in a then Dutch record of 2:21.63 which she subsequently lowered to 2:21.52 at the final World Cup stop in Budapest.

The 22-year-old holds the 100 and 200 national records in both the long and short-course pool and won silver and bronze in the 100 and 200 breast respectively at last year’s World Short-Course Championships in Melbourne.

Double Olympic silver medallist Kamminga was in a three-way tie for silver with Nic Fink and Nicolo Martinenghi in the 100m breaststroke in Fukuoka.

His first senior international medal came at the 2017 European Short-Course Championships in Copenhagen where he won gold with the 4x50m mixed medley relay.

Since then he’s won a further three titles and has nine medals across three continental short-course meets.
