Jan Albert Venter (also Jasper Venter; born 23 April 1988 in Hartenbos, Western Cape) is a South African swimmer, who specialized in freestyle events.[1] Venter won a bronze medal, as a member of the South African team, in the 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India.[2] He also helped his team to claim the title in the same relay distance at the 2011 All-Africa Games in Maputo, Mozambique, posting a meet record time of 7:33.63.[3]

Venter qualified as a member of the South African team for the 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by placing third in the same distance from the national championships (1:50.60).[4][5] Teaming with Sebastien Rousseau, Darian Townsend, and Jean Basson, Venter swam the third leg with a split of 1:49.56, but the South Africans rounded out the final field to last place in 7:13.02.[6][7] Previously, they set an African standard of 7:10.91 from the preliminary heats.[8]

At the 2009 FINA World Championships in Rome, Italy, Venter helped out his South African team (Basson, Rousseau, and Townsend) to dip under a 7:10 barrier, and broke a new record of 7:08.01 in the 4 × 200 m freestyle relay.[9][10]
