AINHOA MARTIN SANCHEZ

ESP

Ainhoa is a swimmer from Spain, a collegiate competitor and an international traveller on the circuit, whose official competitive record spans 8 seasons, 4 countries and 88 meets.

Her recorded career begins in 2019 in Gijón, where she raced the 50 backstroke in 33.75.

Her signature event is the 200 individual medley, the event she has raced the most, followed by the 200 breaststroke and 200 freestyle. Individual medley is where her specialisation lies (43 meets), while breaststroke appears in more meets (51 meets and 76 recorded swims) because she races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.

Her fastest 200 individual medley stands at 2:17.76, set in long course (50 m) at Xlii Cto. de España Absoluto Open Astralpool de Verano.

Her record includes national championships, between 2020 and 2021 (Campeonato España Absoluto and XXI Spanish National Championships). A representative mark at that level is 27.91 in the 50 butterfly, recorded in long course (50 m). She also appears in collegiate championships and international meets.

The record runs unbroken from 2019 to 2026: 8 consecutive seasons without a single missing year. 2024 is the busiest season on record, with 50 verified individual swims.

She is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 4 countries (the United States, Spain, UNK and Switzerland), including 53 of 88 meets outside Spain.

Those meets span 26 different venues (Bronx, Sabadell, Terrassa and Lewisburg…). She has raced for 6 clubs, led by Fordham University, Club Deportivo Natación Bidasoa Xxi, Buruntzaldea Ikt and C.N. TERRASSA.

Still active: the directory includes official activity in the 2026 season. The last race on record is dated October 10, 2026 in Sant Andreu, with 2 swims: 42.61 in the 50 backstroke and 1:14.43 in the 100 freestyle, all in long course (50 m) and 1 PB improvement. She holds 45 current event personal bests and 108 all-time PB improvements across 229 verified official swims in competitions governed by RFEN and NCAA.
