ESP
Raul is a swimmer from Spain, a sprinter and an international traveller on the circuit, whose official competitive record spans 12 seasons, 16 years, 3 countries and 169 meets.
His recorded career begins in 2011 in Sanlucar bda, where he raced the 200 backstroke in 2:57.73. He started out alongside C.D.N. SANLUCAR.
His signature event is the 100 butterfly, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 100 freestyle and 200 individual medley. Butterfly is where his specialisation lies (84 meets), while freestyle appears in more meets (98 meets and 182 recorded swims spread across 8 different distances) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.
His fastest 100 butterfly stands at 59.14, set in long course (50 m) at Cádiz.
After a 5-year break between 2021 and 2026, he came back to racing and the record picks up again in 2026. 2018 is the busiest season on record, with 76 verified individual swims.
He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 3 countries (Spain, UNK and Portugal), including 6 of 169 meets outside Spain.
Those meets span 8 different venues (Cádiz, Málaga, Granada and Sevilla…). He has raced for C.D. JEREZ NATACION MASTER, CIRCULO MERCANTIL and C.D.N. SANLUCAR.
