Club Natación Sincro Sevilla Marks Historic Milestone at Spanish Artistic Swimming Championships
The Club Natación Sincro Sevilla has solidified its position as a powerhouse in Spanish artistic swimming, achieving what is being described as a historic milestone during the recent Spanish Championships in Puerto de la Cruz.
The competition, which brought together the nation’s top junior and senior talent, concluded on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at the Centro de Deportes Acuáticos de Tenerife (CDAT). Over three days of high-level competition, the event showcased the depth of the sport in Spain, supported by the Cabildo de Tenerife.
Junior Classification and Standings
In the junior category, the competition for the club title was fierce. The Pingüinos de Arrecife claimed the championship title, finishing at the top of the classification with a total of 2,661.9826 points. Refrica Group CN Granollers secured the second position in the general standings.
Club Natación Sincro Sevilla rounded out the podium, finishing third in the junior club classification. Whereas the overall title went to Arrecife, the result represents a significant achievement for the Seville-based club in a highly competitive field.
Individual and Team Highlights
The championships were marked by standout performances across several modalities in the junior division. The medals were distributed among several top clubs, highlighting the diversity of talent currently emerging in the sport.
Key junior champions included:
- Solo Técnico: Rocío Calle (Sincro Retiro)
- Solo Técnico Masculino: Eneko Sánchez (CN Sabadell)
- Equipo Técnico: AD Sincro Retiro

- Dúo Técnico: Arlet Arnan and Roman Sharah (Refrica Group CN Granollers)

For those unfamiliar with the scoring, artistic swimming (formerly known as synchronized swimming) relies on a combination of technical execution and artistic impression, with the “Técnico” routines focusing on required elements and “Libre” routines allowing for more creative choreography.
Event Atmosphere and Leadership
The event was not only a test of athletic skill but as well a gathering of the sport’s most influential figures. The presence of the Spanish national team coach and several stars of the sport underscored the importance of the championships as a benchmark for national performance.
The awards ceremony on Sunday was attended by several dignitaries, including the competition’s godmother, Cristina Violan. Also in attendance were Yolanda Moliné, the sports counselor for the Cabildo de Tenerife and Alberto Cabo, the sports councilor for the Puerto de la Cruz City Council.
The success of the event in Puerto de la Cruz highlights Tenerife’s growing role as a hub for aquatic sports, providing world-class facilities like the CDAT to host national-level competitions.
