ESP
Carlos is a swimmer from Spain, a sprinter, whose official competitive record spans 20 seasons, 21 years and 199 meets.
His recorded career begins in 2003, and one of his earliest marks still on file is the 200 butterfly in 2:29.92, raced in Zaragoza. He started out alongside STADIUM VENECIA.
His signature event is the 50 backstroke, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 100 backstroke and 100 freestyle. Backstroke is where his specialisation lies (119 meets), while freestyle appears in more meets (126 meets and 288 recorded swims spread across 6 different distances) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.
His fastest 50 backstroke stands at 27.88, set in long course (50 m) at Fraga.
After a 2-year break between 2004 and 2006, he came back to racing and the record picks up again in 2006. 2010 is the busiest season on record, with 88 verified individual swims.
Those meets span 9 different venues (Zaragoza, Castellón, Barcelona and Sabadell…). He has raced for STADIUM VENECIA and C.N. HELIOS.
Latest competition: ZARAGOZA (V/SAG) in Zaragoza, on February 26, 2023, with 2 swims: 2:31.53 in the 200 breaststroke and 2:12.67 in the 200 individual medley, all in short course (25 m) and 1 PB improvement. He closes this record with 33 current event personal bests and 181 all-time PB improvements, across 887 verified official swims in competitions governed by RFEN.
