General Interest

General
SWIM SCHOOL PLANS
He wants to launch his own swimming school once his competitive career is over. "[One of my dreams] is to start a swimming school but with a different methodology. I want to teach children a good technique. I also do not want to saturate them a lot so they do not finish exhausted." (senalcolombia.tv, 09 Jul 2021)

FOOTBALL DREAM
At age 15 he entered the Envigado Football Club in Colombia. He trained in the club's lower divisions but he eventually focused on swimming. "Let's say that I would have also liked to play football. However, in the municipality of La Ceja [in Colombia] there were no football school and the closest ones were far away. Once I retire from competitive swimming I would like to return to the fields to have a good time with my friends." (senalcolombia.tv, 09 Jul 2021)
