Vera Middelkamp Chairman
My name is Vera, and this year I will be the chairman of Nayade. After many years in synchronized swimming, I started playing waterpolo two years ago at Nayade, where I really enjoy playing in the first ladies team (Tsunami). Besides that, I am a third year Medical Sciences and Technology student. Also, it might be good to know that I am way to competitive both inside and outside the pool, but just as clumsy.
Let's make this year sportive and lots of fun!

Hi, I am Mees Bieling and this year I am your swimming secretary! I comefrom a deaf background and after transitioning to the ”hearing” world I per-severed to making connections with people despite my hearing difficulties.Youwill know me as a determined go-getter who is enthusiastically involved withthe student and sports association and its committees. For a while, I was look-ing for a way to develop fitness attitude. That’s when I discovered that sportsclubs do not only exist for sport, but also for parties and booze. I soon becameattached to the swimming club Nayade, and in order to spend more time withthe members of Nayade, I decided to do some board and committee work here.Currently I am studying a master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence EngineeringSystems at TU/e and you can always drop by for a drink and learn sign language!
Kirsty Ros Polosecretary
Hello everyone! My name is Kirsty and I am 21 years old. I study Real Estate at Fontys University of Applied Sciences. I was born in the Randstad but moved to Eindhoven 2 years ago. I am really looking forward to getting to know Eindhoven without Covid-19. After all, I live in a nice student house less than 8 minutes from the Peppers. I immediately started playing water polo when I learnt swimming. However, I stopped when I was 18, e but luckily I was able to pick it up again. I'm currently playing in ladies 2 and I'm really looking forward to being in the water every week again. Next year I will be able to fulfill the role of Poloco. I am curious what this year will bring me and with all your questions about water polo you can come to me. See you in the pool or at the Peppers!
