At the 2017 Championships in Netanya, the team won four medals, including two individual gold from Marrit Steenbergen in the 100 freestyle and 200 IM. Though Steenbergen and the other individual medalist Tes Schouten won’t return for the Dutch this year, they do have five returning athletes from last year.
Male breaststroker Juri Dijkstra was a finalist in Netanya in the 50, placing 6th, while both Rosey Metz (50 breast) and Chefanja Nunes (50, 100 fly) were semi-finalists for the women.
For the senior team, the initial roster reported for the European Championships in April has seen no new additions and remains intact for the competition that takes place in Glasgow in August.
