Tell us something about yourself?

I started swimming in school. When the teacher told my parents I was talented, I joined a swimming club. My biggest dream was to participate in the Olympics. During my swimming career I broke 78 Belgium records. My dream became reality. Finally in ’92 I participated in the Barcelona Olympic Games. I was an Olympic finalist (200 meter back stroke). Some highlights of my swimming career: In ’93 I received a bronze Medaille 200 M. back stroke at the World Championships in Palma the Mallorca In ’94 I won the USA Open in Buffalo NY 3 times. In ’95 I competed in the European Championships in Wien and received a Bronze medal for 100 M. back stroke. After my professional swimming years, I started coaching abroad to share my experience as an Olympian. A few years ago I came back to Belgium. My passion for swimming is still as big as when I started, therefore I started my own Company SWIMMOON, Swimming from a to z, where I share my Passion and my Experience with triathletes, swimmers and extreme sporters at all levels so that they can chase their dreams.

Why do you wear a Mojid band?

Safety is the most important thing in life. After my swimming career the doctor found out that I have an auto immune disease. The medication I take is important data (if something happens to me). That's why Mojid Bands is a great initiative...knowing that you are safe at all times.

What is your life mantra?
