Luca Alessi

NWO · AUS

Luca is a swimmer from Australia, a sprinter and an international traveller on the circuit, whose official competitive record spans 10 seasons, 3 countries and 143 meets.

His recorded career begins in 2017, and one of his earliest marks still on file is the 500 freestyle in 5:27.26, raced in NI TTSC Halloween Meet. He started out alongside Buffalo Area Aquatic Club.

His signature event is the 100 freestyle, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 50 freestyle and 50 breaststroke. Freestyle is the backbone of the whole record: 126 meets and 253 recorded swims.

His fastest 100 freestyle stands at 56.70, set in long course (50 m) at Niagara Championships (50m).

The record runs unbroken from 2017 to 2026: 10 consecutive seasons without a single missing year. 2022 is the busiest season on record, with 113 verified individual swims.

He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 3 countries (the United States, Switzerland and UNK), most often in the United States (142 meets).

Those meets span 24 different venues (Buffalo, Amherst, Webster and Clarence…). He has raced for 6 clubs, led by Niagara Swimming Zone Team, Buffalo Area Aquatic Club, Clarence Swim Club and Canisius High School.
