Arno Kamminga

Aquatic Sports

Arno Kamminga, born on 22 October 1995, is a Dutch swimmer who specialises in the breaststroke. At the 2020 Summer Olympics, held in Tokyo, he won silver medals in both the 100 metre and the 200 metre breaststroke. His international debut came in the men's 50 metre breaststroke at the 2017 World Aquatics Championships, and he has since become a two-time world silver medallist in the 100 metre breaststroke, in 2022 and 2023, as well as winning several other medals at the World and European Championships over both long and short courses. At the 2024 Summer Olympics he drew attention for wearing multicoloured swim trunks that looked partly see-through in places, and an injury forced him to withdraw before the semi-finals of the 200 metre breaststroke.
