He was sidelined for three months in 2018 due to a shoulder injury. (Athlete, 24 Jul 2021)

He began swimming at age four, and participated in his first competition at age seven. (Athlete, 17 Jul 2021; maisfutebol.iol.pt, 11 Apr 2019)

He was advised by doctors to take up swimming due to his asthma issues. Once he began competing he was more hooked by the sport. "There wasn't any other thing that attracted me more than swimming. I used to play drums for two years but it was never something I could commit as much as sport. And swimming was little by little having more sense for me." (maisfutebol.iol.pt, 11 Apr 2019)
