Albert is a swimmer from Spain, a backstroke specialist and a sprinter, whose official competitive record spans 14 seasons, 17 years and 150 meets.
His recorded career begins in 2008 in Igualada, where he raced the 25 backstroke in 24.19. He started out alongside Club Natación Sitges.
His signature event is the 100 backstroke, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 50 freestyle and 50 backstroke. Backstroke is where his specialisation lies (106 meets), while freestyle appears in more meets (108 meets and 198 recorded swims spread across 9 different distances) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.
His fastest 100 backstroke stands at 59.56, set in long course (50 m) at Sabadell.
After a 4-year break between 2008 and 2012, he came back to racing and the record picks up again in 2012. 2016 is the busiest season on record, with 62 verified individual swims.
Those meets span 27 different venues (Sitges, Barcelona, Terrassa and Sabadell…). He has raced for Club Natación Sitges and Club Esportiu Mediterrani.
The last race on record is dated November 9, 2024 in Olot, with 6 swims: 23.75 in the 50 freestyle, 23.86 in the 50 freestyle and 24.22 in the 50 freestyle, all in short course (25 m). He closes this record with 37 current event personal bests and 322 all-time PB improvements, across 474 verified official swims in competitions governed by RFEN.
