Free swimming technique video analysis by former Olympian for Sport Discount Subscription holders

Published on: 3 September 2025

At Alkmaar Sport we regularly surprise our Sport Voordeel subscription holders with unique experiences and benefits. For September we have something very special in store: a chance to give your swimming technique a massive boost!

Always something extra with the Sports Advantage Subscription

Up Sunday 21 September did you get between 09:00 and 12:00 (in 3 time slots) the unique opportunity to participate for free in an exclusive video analysis. None other than Olympic top swimmer Bas van Velthoven from Personal Swimming shares his expertise and helps you to improve your technique with direct feedback and video footage.

Improve your swimming technique

The Technique Pit Lane is an innovative concept by Personal Swimming. Two lanes of the 50-metre pool are set up as a ‘pit lane’. Swimmers swim through this and receive personal points for improvement at the end of the lane based on video recordings. You can get to work immediately with these tips and have the opportunity to swim through the pit lane again later to test your progress. You can also ask all your questions about technique and training.

There is space for each time slot 15 season ticket holders. So do not wait too long and secure your place for this exclusive event. We look forward to welcoming you!

Weekly video tips

Perhaps you know Bas van Velthoven from the weekly tip and trick videos you see on the LED screen by the 50-metre pool. These useful videos give you practical insights to swim smarter and better.
