Biography
Jopie Troost was a Dutch competitive swimmer who was active during the 1950s and 1960s. Troost represented the Hollandse Dames Zwemclub in Amsterdam when she was called up to compete for the national at the 1958 European Championships. A mainstay in the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay team, she was part of the quartet that broke the Dutch record on three occasions during the same year.
