On the first day of the Netherlands has Frederique Janssen Starfish Invitational Catfish Dutch record in the 50m freestyle for 11 year olds improved. In a special time-trial, which was requested because of her age were no distances swum in the 50m pool, she came to 30.21 and thus they appeared about 3 tenths under the old record of Joyce Stewart. That came in 1983 for Starfish Catfish and then swam in the Valleibad in Veenendaal 30.52.

The new record was no coincidence, as the Brabant championships Fredeique was already 30.84. From that moment there was the idea of ​​the Netherlands Invitational try again. Last week at the Speedo Year Finals took Frederique already a medal in the 100m backstroke, 100m freestyle but it was the mist just before the start because she was not feeling well. Now everything went well as planned and took Frédérique the record.

Frederique where her talent has come from is not a mystery. Her mother, Annemarie Verstappen, world champion in the 200m freestyle in 1982 and double Olympic bronze winner in 1984 at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Thanks to the wonders of YouTube, we can see those races again.
