PAULA LLIDO FERNANDEZ

ESP

Paula is a swimmer from Spain, an international traveller on the circuit, whose official competitive record spans 11 seasons, 2 countries and 97 meets.

Her recorded career begins in 2013, and one of her earliest marks still on file is the 50 backstroke in 49.71, raced in Benicarlo. She started out alongside C.N. VILA-REAL.

Her signature event is the 200 individual medley, the event she has raced the most, followed by the 100 breaststroke and 100 freestyle. Individual medley is where her specialisation lies (50 meets), while freestyle appears in more meets (61 meets and 92 recorded swims spread across 7 different distances) because she races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.

Her fastest 200 individual medley stands at 2:29.66, set in long course (50 m) at Gijón.

Her record includes international meets, in 2021 (Xv Trofeo Internacional Ibercaja Ciudad Zaragoza--xii Memorial Eduardo Lastrada). A representative mark at that level is 2:34.68 in the 200 individual medley, recorded in long course (50 m).

The record runs unbroken from 2013 to 2023: 11 consecutive seasons without a single missing year. 2022 is the busiest season on record, with 41 verified individual swims.

She is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 2 countries (Spain and UNK), including 1 of 97 meets outside Spain.

Those meets span 22 different venues (Castellón, Onda, Vila-real and Vinarós…). She has raced for CST-CST COSTA AZAHAR and C.N. VILA-REAL.

The last race on record is dated December 22, 2023 in Castellón, with 1 swim: 34.80 in the 50 breaststroke, all in short course (25 m) and 1 PB improvement. She closes this record with 32 current event personal bests and 274 all-time PB improvements, across 249 verified official swims in competitions governed by RFEN.
