Free video analysis with Olympian Bas van Velthoven for Sports Benefit Subscription holders
Published on: 24 September 2026Sports Advantage Subscription holders will be extra spoiled in October. Earlier we already announced that they can participate for free in a track cycling clinic. But that is not all: we have yet another sporting gift! On Sunday 4 October, season ticket holders can take part for free in a video analysis clinic by Personal Swimming with Olympian Bas van Velthoven at the Hoornse Vaart swimming pool.
Look at your swimming stroke from a different angle
What does your swimming stroke actually look like underwater? During this clinic, you will get a literal view of that. In a small group, underwater footage will be recorded of your swimming stroke. You will then review the footage immediately at the poolside together with Bas van Velthoven.
You can see where your areas for improvement lie and receive practical tips that you can then immediately apply back in the water. Every swimming stroke can be analysed and swimmers of all levels can participate.
Why video analysis?
When swimming, you only see a small part of what your body is doing in the water. That is precisely why video analysis can provide a lot of insight. By watching yourself back, movements become visible that you can barely perceive while swimming.
Even top athletes use video analysis to further improve their swimming technique. During the clinic, you will therefore also view footage of various Olympic swimmers. This allows you to see how a swimming stroke is technically executed and discuss together which improvements are achievable and applicable for you. The goal is not to swim with technical perfection. Sometimes, small adjustments in particular can ensure that you move through the water more easily and efficiently, and therefore swim with even more enjoyment.
