The Argentinian Swimming Federation has announced a roster of 8 swimmers for the 2014 World Short Course Swimming Championships that will be held from December 3rd-7th in Doha, Qatar.
The South American country hasn’t won a medal at the biannual short course championships since 2006, when Jose Meolans won the last of his four career World Short Course medals – four out of the five in the country’s history.
Perhaps the country’s best chance at pulling of a medal comes in the form of the 24-year old Federico Grabich. The versatile swimmer ranges from 50’s to 200’s and is the 2010 and 2014 South American Champion in the 200 free.
Maybe his best chance at a final, though, comes in the 50 back. He swam a National Record of 25.16 en route to a 10th-place finish at the long course World Championships, and he’s very good in short course as well.
The full roster is below:
- Grabich Federico
- Aguilera Matias
- Belza Joaquin
- Buscaglia Guido
- Naidich Martin
- Sebastian Julia
- Perotti Florencia
- Berrino Andrea
Coaches:
- Federico Rossi
- Ortiz Roberto
- Gherardi Monica
