Sergio is a swimmer from Spain, a collegiate competitor and an international traveller on the circuit, whose official competitive record spans 13 seasons, 3 countries and 117 meets.
His recorded career begins in 2011, and one of his earliest marks still on file is the 50 breaststroke in 40.08, raced in Madrid. He started out alongside REAL CANOE N.C..
His signature event is the 200 backstroke, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 100 backstroke and 400 freestyle. Backstroke is where his specialisation lies (59 meets), while freestyle appears in more meets (86 meets and 182 recorded swims spread across 12 different distances) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.
His best 200 backstroke time in long course (50 m) is 2:04.99, set in 2018 at Malaga.
His record includes collegiate championships, between 2022 and 2023 (Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships). A representative mark at that level is 1:50.49 in the 200 backstroke, recorded in short course yards (25 yd).
The record runs unbroken from 2011 to 2023: 13 consecutive seasons without a single missing year. 2016 is the busiest season on record, with 77 verified individual swims.
He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 3 countries (Spain, the United States and UNK), including 24 of 117 meets outside Spain.
Those meets span 18 different venues (Madrid, St. Louis, Sabadell and Castellón…). He has raced for University of Missouri-St. Louis, C.D. GREDOS SAN DIEGO and REAL CANOE N.C..
Latest competition: Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships in Evansville, on February 11, 2023, with 1 swim: 1:50.49 in the 200 backstroke, all in short course yards (25 yd) and 1 PB improvement. He closes this record with 54 current event personal bests and 311 all-time PB improvements, across 455 verified official swims in competitions governed by RFEN, World Aquatics and NCAA.
