Połącznie O pasji do tego sportu z hiszpańskimi pływaczkami pozwoliło mi na zgłębieniu wiedzy na ten pływania temat. Chciałabym w tej prezentacji przedstawić kilka współczesnych pływaczek, które osiągnęły niewyobrażalne sukcesy w świecie sportu. Mimo tego, że Hiszpania nie należy do krai będącymi prekursorami pływania. Mireia Belmonte García Hiszpańska pływaczka specjalizująca się w stylu zmiennym (atut to styl motylkowy).
