Brazilian Bruno Fratus has been one of swimming's most consistent sprint freestylers. He's broken 22 seconds in the 50 LCM Freestyle 81 times in his career. Bruno has been on the podium of the 50 Free in each of the last three World Championships (Bronze 2015 Kazan, Silver 2017 Budapest, Silver 2019 Gwangju). 

Bruno talks about...

Being bullied as a child.

His Olympic experiences in 2012 and 2016.
Gary Hall Jr. the GOAT Sprinter.
Coming to America.
Confronting Cesar Cielo in the drug testing tent at the 2012 Olympics.
Being next to Cesar Cielo in 2009 when he broke the 50 World Record.
"The Poor Man's Cesar Cielo"
Acting like a professional in all aspects: nutrition, mentality, recovery.
Overcoming injuries.

And much, much more!


"I race because I love it. Actually, I swim because I love racing. I swim because I like the thrill. I like the grind. I like to hurt at practice. I think, more than any other thing, I like to win races." - Bruno Fratus
