2026 DUTCH EUROPEAN SWIMMING TRIALS
July 2nd – July 5th Tongelreep National Swimming Centre, Eindhoven, the Netherlands LCM (50m) Meet Central Entry List Live Results LivestreamThe 2026 Dutch European Swimming Trials are on the horizon, with the four-day affair representing the primary opportunity for the nation’s swimmers to gain qualification for this year’s European Championships.
950 registered athletes across 12 different countries are entered in the competition, with the Dutch taking on swimmers from Great Britain, Belgium, Germany and beyond.
One name that will be missing, however, is newly minted World Record holder Cameron McEvoy of Australia. We reported in April that the 32-year-old speedster would potentially appear in Eindhoven; however, the superstar has decided to forego the meet.
Aussie swim fans should be anything but concerned, though, as McEvoy recently took to social media to state that, along with LA 2028, the Australia-hosted 2032 Olympic Games are already on his mind.
Per his social media post today, McEvoy said, “I have a 10-month-old right now and he’ll be 7 when the Brisbane Games roll around…. there’s a chance I’ll have a lane, for the opportunity for him to be in the crowd and watch me do what I do and what I’ve dedicated my life to doing.”
Another name that is missing from the entry list is Dutch national record holder Nyls Korstanje.
Although it’s unclear why the 27-year-old ace has specifically withdrawn from this competition, we did report last year how the former NC State standout bowed out of the Dutch Qualifiers in October due to a back injury. We expect Korstanje to release a statement in the very near future.
Nevertheless, these Trials will still be stacked with talent, including from domestic Olympic medalists Caspar Corbeau, Arno Kamminga and Tes Schouten, along with versatile, on-fire Marrit Steenbergen.
There is also a strong Para swimming contingent ready to do their best. Among the entries are Paralympic and World Championship medal winners such as Alice Tai, Simone Barlaam, William Ellard, Faye Rogers, Lisa Kruger, Liesette Bruinsma, Bas Takken, Rogier Dorsman and Florianne Bultje.
Below is the schedule, key entrants, as well as the qualification standards for able-bodied Dutch swimmers to qualify for the European Championships.
