Swimming is a sport every Dutch knows from the successes of Inge de Bruijn, Pieter van den Hoogenband and Ranomi Kromowidjodjo. However swimming is a sport which can be trained at many different levels. There are swimmers who compete the Dutch championships, regional championships or swimmers who just start swimming. Swimming is an excellent sport to start with when you are older.
At G.S.Z.V. De Golfbreker, all these different levels swim together. During training, they swim at different lanes, whereby everybody receives training at his/her own level. But during the many activities the whole club is mixed together. De Golfbreker has the opportunity to train up to 5 times a week. None of these hours is compulsory, you are free to choose the hour you come to train. We also compete at competitions. Five times a year there is a round of the Dutch Student Swimming competition (NSZK). After the swimming part, an awesome themeparty is organized!
