JAVIER BALBUENA LOPEZ DE MUNAIN

ESP

Javier is a swimmer from Spain whose official competitive record spans 9 seasons and 102 meets.

His recorded career begins in 2013, and one of his earliest marks still on file is the 50 backstroke in 38.61, raced in Calahorra. He started out alongside C.N. LOGROÑO.

His signature event is the 100 breaststroke, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 100 freestyle and 200 freestyle. Breaststroke is where his specialisation lies (46 meets), while freestyle appears in more meets (71 meets and 121 recorded swims spread across 8 different distances) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.

His fastest 100 breaststroke stands at 1:13.32, set in long course (50 m) at Las Palmas g.c.

The record runs unbroken from 2013 to 2021: 9 consecutive seasons without a single missing year. 2017 is the busiest season on record, with 45 verified individual swims.

Those meets span 19 different venues (Logroño, Calahorra, Maliaño and Huesca…). He has raced for E.M. EL OLIVAR, FED. LA RIOJA, C.N. LOGROÑO and La Rioja.

Latest competition: ZARAGOZA (C) in Zaragoza, on December 5, 2021, with 1 swim: 25.74 in the 50 freestyle, all in short course (25 m). He closes this record with 29 current event personal bests and 249 all-time PB improvements, across 266 verified official swims in competitions governed by RFEN.
