MARIA FERNANDEZ VELASCO

ESP

Maria is a swimmer from Spain, a sprinter and an international traveller on the circuit, whose official competitive record spans 10 seasons, 5 countries and 42 meets.

Her recorded career begins in 2017, and one of her earliest marks still on file is the 50 backstroke in 35.56, raced in Competencia Navideña - Barracuda CEDESA.

Her signature event is the 50 freestyle, the event she has raced the most, followed by the 100 freestyle and 100 butterfly. Freestyle is the backbone of the whole record: 32 meets and 65 recorded swims.

Her fastest 50 freestyle stands at 27.36, set in long course (50 m) at X Dominican Republic International Open.

Her record includes world championships, in 2025 (22nd World Aquatics Championships, Singapore, SIN). A representative mark at that level is 27.77 in the 50 freestyle, recorded in long course (50 m). She also appears in continental championships and international meets.

The record runs unbroken from 2017 to 2026: 10 consecutive seasons without a single missing year. 2025 is the busiest season on record, with 47 verified individual swims.

She is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 5 countries (UNK, the United States, Spain, Romania and Singapore), including 38 of 42 meets outside Spain.

Those meets span 14 different venues (Orlando, Ocala, Otopeni and Marinaleda…). She has raced for 8 clubs, led by Federación Dominicana de Natación, Asociacion Natacion Del Distrito, Club de Natación La Salle 2000 and Montverde Aquatic Club.
