ALEJANDRO SANTANA MARTINEZ

ESP

Alejandro is a swimmer from Spain, a sprinter and an international traveller on the circuit, whose official competitive record spans 12 seasons, 14 years, 3 countries and 88 meets.

His recorded career begins in 2012, and one of his earliest marks still on file is the 50 backstroke in 37.44, raced in Las Palmas de gc. He started out alongside C.D. JESCAGUA.

His signature event is the 200 butterfly, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 400 individual medley and 100 butterfly. Butterfly is where his specialisation lies (35 meets), while freestyle appears in more meets (61 meets and 79 recorded swims spread across 6 different distances) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.

His fastest 200 butterfly stands at 2:28.12, set in long course (50 m) at Las Palmas de gc.

After a 3-year break between 2014 and 2017, he came back to racing and the record picks up again in 2017. 2014 is the busiest season on record, with 38 verified individual swims.

He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 3 countries (the United States, Spain and UNK), including 53 of 88 meets outside Spain.

Those meets span 22 different venues (East Meadow, West Nyack, New York and Stafford…). He has raced for 6 clubs, led by Long Island Aquatic Club, Florida Club Swim Team, Chaminade High School (NY) and Herricks High School.

Latest competition: Florida Freak Fest Invitational in Gainesville, on October 11, 2025, with 1 swim: 52.42 in the 100 freestyle, all in short course yards (25 yd) and 1 PB improvement. He closes this record with 44 current event personal bests and 206 all-time PB improvements, across 248 verified official swims in competitions governed by RFEN.
