Awards

World Swimmer of the Year
2000, 2001

At the 2001 World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, she won gold medals in the 50-metre freestyle, 100-metre freestyle, and 50-metre butterfly events and she retained her two 50-metre titles in the 2003 World Championships.

De Bruijn qualified for the 1996 Olympic Games, but decided not to go because she had lost all motivation and desire to swim. De Bruijn, who finished ninth in the 100-metre butterfly event at the 1992 Olympics, said that staying home in 1996 was the biggest mistake of her life.
