SPN POITIERS · FRA
Franck is a swimmer from France, an international traveller on the circuit and an international championship swimmer, whose official competitive record spans 5 seasons, 2 countries and 10 meets.
His recorded career begins in 2000 in Rennes, where he raced the 400 individual medley in 4:30.19. He started out alongside DAUPHINS TOULOUSE OEC.
His signature event is the 200 freestyle, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 200 individual medley and 400 freestyle. Freestyle is where his specialisation lies (5 meets), while individual medley appears in more meets (6 meets and 7 recorded swims) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.
His fastest 200 freestyle stands at 1:52.07, set in long course (50 m) at Chalon-sur-saône [nat].
His record includes the World Cup circuit, between 2000 and 2001 (FINA Swimming World Cup 1999-2000 and FINA Swimming World Cup 2000-2001). A representative mark at that level is 1:48.54 in the 200 freestyle, recorded in short course (25 m).
The record runs unbroken from 2000 to 2004: 5 consecutive seasons without a single missing year. 2001 is the busiest season on record, with 8 verified individual swims.
He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 2 countries (France and the United Kingdom), including 1 of 10 meets outside France.
Those meets span 7 different venues (Dunkerque, Paris, Chalon-sur-saône and Rennes…). He has raced for SPN POITIERS.
Latest competition: DUNKERQUE [NAT] in Dunkerque, on April 24, 2004, with 1 swim: 27.47 in the 50 backstroke, all in long course (50 m) and 1 PB improvement. He closes this record with 15 current event personal bests and 17 all-time PB improvements, across 22 verified official swims in competitions governed by World Aquatics.
