After the brazilian championship, our Swimming team has been announced. Brazil is going to Lima with 35 athletes (18 men, 17 women). While the men's team is quite good (Pan Am champion Leonardo de Deus was able to qualify for Worlds but was left out here), the women's side is kinda weak. The list includes 3 of the 4 open water swimmers: Villarinho (who also qualified to the 1500m event, so his name counts for the max. 18 pool male athletes), Jungblut (another one who qualified for pool events) and Cunha. Another male marathon swimmer probably will be added to the list (for a total of 36 athletes) since there was a tie for second place in the trials (between Fernando Ponte and Allan do Carmo).
Gold medalists in 2015 that will be back: João de Lucca, Brandonn Almeida, Bruno Fratus, Marcelo Chierighini, Luiz Altamir Melo, Guilherme Guido, Etiene Medeiros.
