Ewout Holst

Ewout Holst

Ewout Holst (born October 8, 1978 in Den Haag, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands) is a Dutch former freestyle and butterfly swimmer.

Holst's early years were spent abroad, travelling with his family to the various postings his father was given as a government official. It was whilst at school in Bonn that his skills as a swimmer became recognised.

He gained his first selection for the Dutch Team for the European SC Championships 1998 in Sheffield. He was disqualified in the heats of the 4x100m Freestyle Relay at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. After a troubled period he decided to quit swimming after coming seventh in the 50 metres butterfly at the European LC Championships 2004 in Madrid, Spain.
