General
STUDY
In 2016 he began studying animal behaviour at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN, United States of America. He chose his studies for his love for horses. "My family has a little farm in Sao Joao del Rei [Brazil], and I like horses so much, either riding them as well as taking care of them. I plan to work on this in the future. When I was growing up, swimming became more important and took all time that I could have gone to the farm." He finished his eligibility to compete for the university in 2019, although he continued studying for one more year. (sportv.globo.com, 26 Mar 2018; folha.uol.com.br, 17 Apr 2019)
