COL
Esteban is a swimmer from Colombia, a collegiate competitor and an international traveller on the circuit, whose official competitive record spans 6 seasons, 12 years, 2 countries and 47 meets.
His recorded career begins in 2008 in FL Swimming JO LC Champio, where he raced the 50 breaststroke in 44.15. He started out alongside Bolles School Sharks.
His signature event is the 200 individual medley, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 200 butterfly and 400 individual medley. Individual medley is where his specialisation lies (29 meets), while butterfly appears in more meets (34 meets and 42 recorded swims) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.
His fastest 200 individual medley stands at 2:23.10, set in long course (50 m) at Saint Louis Showcase.
His record includes collegiate championships, between 2016 and 2019 (Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships and 2016 Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships). A representative mark at that level is 1:51.80 in the 200 butterfly, recorded in short course yards (25 yd).
After a 7-year break between 2008 and 2015, he came back to racing and the record picks up again in 2015. 2017 is the busiest season on record, with 38 verified individual swims.
He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 2 countries (the United States and Colombia), including 44 of 47 meets outside Colombia.
Those meets span 15 different venues (St. Louis, Springfield, Columbia and Crawfordsville…). He has raced for University of Missouri-St. Louis and Bolles School Sharks.
Latest competition: Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships, on February 9, 2019, with 2 swims: 22.69 in the 50 freestyle and 47.35 in the 100 freestyle, all in short course yards (25 yd). He closes this record with 29 current event personal bests and 74 all-time PB improvements, across 152 verified official swims in competitions governed by NCAA.
