Timeline

1926

Petronella "Nel" van Vliet (17 January 1926 – 4 January 2006) was a breaststroke swimmer from the Netherlands.

1942

Nel van Vliet was born in Hilversum and learned to swim only around the age of 16 (c. 1942), during World War II.

1943

In 1943, she became national champion in the 200 m breaststroke, her favorite discipline.

1946

She improved significantly after the end of the war, setting 13 world records in various breaststroke and medley relay events in 1946–1947, and winning national championships in 1946 and 1948.

Her international career was hindered by that she was not registered with the Dutch authorities at birth.

1947

She won gold medals in the 200 m breaststroke at the 1947 European Aquatics Championships and 1948 Summer Olympics.

After this problem was rectified, she became European (1947) and Olympic (1948) champion in the 200 m breaststroke event.

1948

To win the 1948 Olympics, it was sufficient for her to swim eight seconds slower than her personal best time, that is, the world record.

Van Vliet was the first top swimmer raised by the famous Dutch coach Jan Stender.

After retiring from swimming she devoted her time to raising her three children.

Her marriage lasted only five years, and to earn for the family she had to quit competitive swimming and start working as a swimming coach.

Her Olympic gold medal was stolen from her home in 1948 and was reissued to her only in 2004.

She died two years later from a cancer-related illness in Naarden.

1973

In 1973, she was inducted to the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
