Veljko is a swimmer from Slovenia, a sprinter and an international traveller on the circuit, whose official competitive record spans 6 seasons, 5 countries and 22 meets.
His recorded career begins in 2021 in Kup Pančeva-2021, where he raced the 50 backstroke in 42.32. He started out alongside Plivacki klub 11 April Beograd.
His signature event is the 100 butterfly, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 50 freestyle and 50 butterfly. Butterfly is where his specialisation lies (18 meets), while freestyle appears in more meets (20 meets and 29 recorded swims spread across 4 different distances) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.
His fastest 100 butterfly stands at 59.64, set in long course (50 m) at Central European Countries Junior Multinations.
His record includes continental championships, between 2025 and 2026 (Central European Countries Junior Meet, Sopron, HUN and Central European Countries Junior Multinations, Ljubljana, SLO). A representative mark at that level is 59.64 in the 100 butterfly, recorded in long course (50 m). He also appears in international meets.
The record runs unbroken from 2021 to 2026: 6 consecutive seasons without a single missing year. 2025 is the busiest season on record, with 16 verified individual swims.
He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 5 countries (Serbia, UNK, RUS, Hungary and SLO), most often in Serbia (11 meets).
Those meets span 11 different venues (Beograd, Kazan, Belgrade and Subotica…). He has raced for Serbian Swimming Federation, Plivacki klub 11 April Beograd and Serbia.
Still active: the directory includes official activity in the 2026 season. Latest competition: Central European Countries Junior Multinations in Ljubljana, on July 19, 2026, with 1 swim: 25.73 in the 50 freestyle, all in long course (50 m) and 1 PB improvement.
