Five Ibiza Swimmers Qualify for the Spanish Absolute Open Swimming Championships in Madrid

November 11, 2026

Five swimmers from Ibiza will represent the island at the Spanish Absolute Open Swimming Championships in Madrid, with athletes from Club Náutico Santa Eulalia and CN Portus having achieved the qualifying standards for one of the major events on the national swimming calendar.

The LXIX Campeonato de España Absoluto Open P25 – Astralpool takes place from 12 to 15 November 2026 at the Centro de Natación M-86 in Madrid. The four-day competition will bring together leading swimmers from across Spain and international participants in a 25-metre pool.

Club Náutico Santa Eulalia will have four representatives, while CN Portus from Sant Antoni will be represented by junior swimmer Sofía María Juan García.

Four Swimmers Represent Santa Eulalia

The Santa Eulalia delegation combines senior experience with developing talent from the club's junior and infantil categories.

Víctor Adda will compete in the senior category in the 50-metre butterfly, where he will have the opportunity to measure himself against some of the country's leading specialists in the discipline.

Junior swimmer Gabriel Torres has also secured the qualifying standard for the 50-metre butterfly, continuing his development in sprint swimming.

Ania Ferrer will have the busiest programme among the Santa Eulalia representatives. The junior swimmer has achieved the required standards in four individual events: the 50-metre and 100-metre freestyle, as well as the 50-metre and 100-metre butterfly.

The fourth representative is Renée Álvarez, who will compete in the 200-metre backstroke. Still in the infantil category, she will be among the youngest swimmers taking part in the national championship.

The club's technical management has welcomed the achievement, viewing the four qualifications as recognition of the work carried out at its facilities and an opportunity to represent Santa Eulària and Ibiza at the highest level of Spanish swimming.

Sofía María Juan Represents CN Portus

CN Portus will also have a representative at the Madrid competition, with junior swimmer Sofía María Juan García qualifying for three events using absolute-category entry standards.

She will compete in the 50-metre and 100-metre backstroke, together with the 50-metre freestyle.

Her qualification is particularly significant for the Sant Antoni club, which has now secured representation at this level of the Spanish national championships for a second consecutive season.

The club has expressed pride in her progress, recognising the work and development that have led to her qualification.

Four Days of Competition at the M-86

The championship begins on Thursday, 12 November, and runs through Sunday, 15 November, at Madrid's Centro de Natación M-86.

The event is officially titled the LXIX Campeonato de España Absoluto Open P25 – Astralpool and will feature four days of swimming in a 25-metre pool, with morning and afternoon sessions.

For the five Ibiza swimmers, the competition provides an opportunity to test their qualifying performances against a strong national and international field, gain experience at a high level and represent their respective clubs and the island.

Their participation also reflects the work being carried out by swimming clubs in Santa Eulària and Sant Antoni to develop athletes capable of reaching national competition.
