Chantal Groot is one of the most popular and richest Swimmer who was born on October 19, 1982 in Amsterdam, Kingdom of the Netherlands. Chantal Groot (born on the 19th of October, 1982 from Amsterdam) is a freestyle swimmer and butterfly from the Netherlands who has represented her country at numerous international championships since. The most effective distance for Chantal Groot is her 50m butterfly, in which she was awarded five European LC Championships medals, for the first time in 1999 in Istanbul and then became European Champion in 2008 in Eindhoven.

A few months after the Olympics she took part at the 2004 FINA Short Course World Championships held in Indianapolis, Indiana. At this event, she finished 7th in both the 100m butterfly and 100 freestyle. In December, she took home her second European victory in the freestyle relay 4x50m in the European Short Course Swimming Championships 2004 in Vienna and then placed 7th in the 100 freestyle event.

2005 wasn’t a fantastic for Groot with a 4th place in the 4×100 m freestyle and 9th in the 50 m butterfly during the 2005 World Aquatics Championships in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. At the end of the year she won the gold medal for the third time in a row in the 4×50 m freestyle at the European Short Course Swimming Championships 2005. 2006 started off with the 2006 FINA Short Course World Championships in Shanghai. Together with Inge Dekker, Hinkelien Schreuder and Marleen Veldhuis, Groot set a world record and won a gold medal in the 4×100 m freestyle relay in a time of 3:33.32. In the summer she took part in the 2006 European Aquatics Championships in Budapest, Hungary where she added a silver medal, in the 4×100 m freestyle with Dekker, Veldhuis and Ranomi Kromowidjojo, and a bronze medal, fourth time in her career, in the 50 m butterfly to her impressive collection of medals. In Helsinki she won a silver medal in the 4×50 m freestyle at the European Short Course Swimming Championships 2006. Her next big tournament was the 2007 World Aquatics Championships in Melbourne, Australia where she was swum out of the 4×100 m freestyle team by teammate Femke Heemskerk while being a regular team member in the finals for so many years. Individually she ended 13th and 20th in the 50 m and 100 m butterfly making it a disappointing tournament for Groot. A fifth spot at the European Short Course Swimming Championships 2007 was her best result of a disappointing year.

In March 2008 Groot competed in her home country at the 2008 European Aquatics Championships where she finally became European Champion in the 50 m butterfly beating teammate Inge Dekker in the final, after having won the bronze medal four times in this event. In the 100 m butterfly she finished up 5th and qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics. She started in the heats of the 4×100 m freestyle and 4×100 m medley but was replaced for the finals each time.

She also swam in the heats of the 4×100 m medley but was replaced in the final by Inge Dekker. The Olympic Games in Beijing were a disappointment because she ended 30th in the 100 m butterfly.

It was clear that the 2001 World Aquatics Championships and the 2002 FINA Short Course World Championships were neither very successful for Groot. In 2002, at the European Aquatics Championships in Berlin she was awarded bronze in the 50m butterfly. She also won an award of bronze in the freestyle 4×100 m relay along alongside Manon van Rooijen Marleen Veldhuis, and Wilma van Hofwegen. In December 2002, she took home 2 bronze medals in the European Short Course Swimming Championships 2002, in the 4×50 m freestyle and 4x50m Medley relay. The year 2003 saw her began in the World Aquatics Championships in Barcelona which she won 4th place in the freestyle 4×100 meters 5th in the 50m butterfly, and 6th in the Medley relay. Then, in Dublin in December, she won an gold medal for the freestyle 4x50m as well as the bronze medal at the end of the 4×50 m medley relay in the European Short Course Swimming Championships 2003.
