Stefan Nystrand (born October 20, 1981 in Haninge) is a freestyle and breaststroke swimmer from Sweden. His father Sture Nystrand is a Swede and his mother Smiljana Kokeza is Croatian from Split.^[6] Nystrand, a short course (25 m) specialist, has won five individual medals in the FINA Short Course World Championships, and captured his first medal (silver) in long course (50 m) in the 100 m Freestyle at the European LC Championships 2006 in Budapest, behind Filippo Magnini of Italy. The following year he wins a bronze medal at the 2007 World Aquatics Championships in Melbourne at the 50 m freestyle, with a new national record of 21.97. After breaking the 48 second barrier in the 100m freestyle long course (he is only the second person to do so) in Paris, Nystrand revealed that he averages than 3,000 meters a practice, a minuscule amount compared to other professional swimmers, and never more than 20,000 meters a week.

Nystrand has also competed at the Olympic Games, in 2000 and 2004, and his best placing at the Games is the fourth place he got at the 50 metre freestyle event, 0.06 seconds behind South African medallist Roland Schoeman. At the Berlin round of the 2007 FINA World Cup, Nystrand broke the 100m freestyle and 50m freestyle (both short course) world records.
