In 2006 van Aggele qualified for theEuropean LC Championships 2006 but didn't start because he had trained to hard and was too tired to compete. InHelsinki he won his first international medal with the Dutch relay team in 4×50 m freestyle finishing 3rd.

At the end of the year he confirmed his nomination and qualified for the games atDutch Open Swim Cup. One week later he won a bronze medal with the 4×50 m medley team at theEuropean SC Championships 2007 inDebrecen.
In 2008 his first big tournament of the year was in his home country, theEuropean LC Championships 2008 which was held inEindhoven. After a disappointing start of the tournament, he came back strong breaking the 100 m butterfly national record ofJoris Keizer bringing it to 52.20 and finishing 4th in the final. At the last day of the tournament he finished 4th again this time in the 4×100 medley relay together withNick Driebergen,Thijs van Valkengoed andMitja Zastrow swimming a national record in 3:37.00. A few weeks later he won a silver medal at theWorld SC Championships 2008 inManchester with the 4×100 m freestyle team. He also reached 3 individual finals in the 50 and 100 m breaststroke and the 100 m individual medley.

One month after the Games he announced to join Swimclub AZ&PC and started training under the guidance of Fedor Hes, who helped him already in his Beijing preparations.[4]
