Olympedia: born 29 July 1983 in Valencia. Club: Club Natación Cerrado Calderón.
The Andalusian Olympic Foundation writes that, as a child, she lived in Córdoba because of her parents’ work and arrived in Málaga at 7. She started in the Cerrado Calderón school programme, with Víctor Sánchez Marrero.
On 30 August 2000 El País reported that she placed her move into the Cerrado team at age 11, and gave a best time of 1:12.77 for the 100 m breaststroke. That time comes from the interview, not from a results file linked here.
