Raul is a swimmer from Spain, a distance freestyler and an international traveller on the circuit, whose official competitive record spans 11 seasons, 2 countries and 123 meets.
His recorded career begins in 2016, and one of his earliest marks still on file is the 25 freestyle in 20.41, raced in Utrera. He started out alongside Club Natación Dos Hermanas.
His signature event is the 200 butterfly, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 400 freestyle and 400 individual medley. Butterfly is where his specialisation lies (72 meets), while freestyle appears in more meets (83 meets and 135 recorded swims spread across 9 different distances) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.
His fastest 200 butterfly stands at 2:12.58, set in long course (50 m) at Dos Hermanas.
His record includes national championships, between 2023 and 2026 (X CAMPEONATO DE ESPAÑA ALEVIN, Madrid, ESP and Campeonato de España Primavera, Sabadell, ESP). A representative mark at that level is 2:32.68 in the 200 butterfly, recorded in long course (50 m).
The record runs unbroken from 2016 to 2026: 11 consecutive seasons without a single missing year. 2024 is the busiest season on record, with 62 verified individual swims.
He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 2 countries (Spain and UNK), including 8 of 123 meets outside Spain.
Those meets span 8 different venues (Sevilla, Cádiz, Córdoba and Málaga…). He has raced for Club Natación Dos Hermanas.
Still active: the directory includes official activity in the 2026 season. Latest competition: La Rinconada, on October 17, 2026, with 2 swims: 1:05.99 in the 100 backstroke and 2:47.31 in the 200 breaststroke, all in short course (25 m) and 5 PB improvements. He holds 34 current event personal bests and 301 all-time PB improvements across 312 verified official swims in competitions governed by RFEN.
