Jasper Aerents (born 18 December 1992) is a Belgian swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1][2]

Career

He won two bronze medals, as a member of the Belgian swimming team, in the 4×50 m freestyle relay at the 2011 European Short Course Swimming Championships in Szczecin, Poland, and at the 2012 European Short Course Swimming Championships in Chartres, France.[3][4] He also captured a silver medal in the 50 m freestyle at the 2010 European Junior Swimming Championships in Helsinki, Finland by a quarter of a second (0.25) behind Ukraine's Andriy Hovorov, in a personal best of 22.79.[5] Aerents is a member of Regal Swimming Club (Dutch: Koninklijke Brugse Zwemkring) in Belgium, and is coached and trained by Rik Valcke.[1][6]

Aerents qualified for two swimming events at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 22.42 (50 m freestyle) from the Nancy Long Course Invitational in Nancy, France.[7][8] He also teamed up with Dieter Dekoninck, Emmanuel Vanluchene, and Pieter Timmers in the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay. Swimming the second leg, Aerents recorded a split of 48.34, but the Belgian team rounded out the finale to last place in 3:14.40.[9][10][11] In the 50 m freestyle, Aerents topped the fifth heat by 0.21 of a second ahead of China's Yang Shi in 22.43, just a 0.01-second deficit from his entry time and personal best. Aerents failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed twenty-second out of 58 swimmers in the preliminaries.[12]
