C.N. Leganes · ESP
Ricardo is a swimmer from Spain, an international traveller on the circuit, whose official competitive record spans 15 seasons, 2 countries and 122 meets.
His recorded career begins in 2012 in Madrid, where he raced the 50 freestyle in 30.79. He started out alongside C.N. Leganes.
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 (60 meets), while freestyle appears in more meets (77 meets and 131 recorded swims spread across 6 different distances) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.
His fastest 200 butterfly stands at 2:29.56, set in long course (50 m).
The record runs unbroken from 2012 to 2026: 15 consecutive seasons without a single missing year. 2016 is the busiest season on record, with 31 verified individual swims.
He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 2 countries (Spain and the United Kingdom), including 1 of 122 meets outside Spain.
Those meets span 15 different venues (Madrid, Oviedo, Castellón and Palma…). He has raced for C.N. Leganes.
