Following the highly successful CSIT Catch’n’Serve Single Championships in Finland, which drew more than 200 participants just a few weeks ago, the second CSIT Single Championships 2026 in swimming took place in the Netherlands from April 27 to May 1. The CSIT member federation NCL Netherlands was hosting 280 swimmers from 13 federations across 7 nations in the new pool in Geleen and has organized a perfect meet to the complete satisfaction of all participants. In addition to many regulars, Malta was making its debut at the championships this time. As part of the competitions, the ceremony marking the 100th anniversary of NCL Netherlands took place on Wednesday afternoon.

At the closing ceremony, CSIT President Bruno Molea congratulated the organizers on the successful event and the 100th anniversary: “With the 100 years of NCS we celebrate today an extraordinary moment. A century is not just a number, it is a powerful testimony of commitment and vision. For one hundred years, NCS has perfectly represented the values that are at the heart of our movement: Sport for All. Your organisation has successfully promoted accessibility, equality, and participation, giving space to workers, women, diverse communities, and all those who believe that sport must be a right. With its history, NCS has followed and anticipated major social evolutions, promoting rights, inclusion, and concrete models to advance equity in sport. NCS has accepted to host the CSIT Single Championships in Swimming, which are among the flagship events of our Confederation.  These championships also represent the high level of professionalism and dedication of the CSIT Swimming Technical Commission, thank you Roberto Vecchione and Hugo Wanders. Thank you to CSIT Sport Directors Georges Michel and Harold Van Hest. Looking in the future, I am confident that NCS, with its extraordinary 100-year history, is more than ready to face the next 100 years with the same passion and vision. Congratulations and all the best for the future!”
