Agustina de Giovanni (born July 16, 1985) is an Argentine former swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] She is a seven-time Argentine champion and two-time record holder in the breaststroke (both 100 and 200 m). She also holds a South American record of 2:26.17 in the 200 m breaststroke at the 2010 Jose Finkel Trophy Meet in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[2]
De Giovanni's Olympic debut came as Argentina's youngest swimmer (aged 19) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Swimming in heat two of the 200 m breaststroke, De Giovanni touched out Mexico's Adriana Marmolejo to take the fourth spot and twenty-sixth overall by 0.16 of a second with a time of 2:35.94.[3][4]
At the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, de Giovanni missed out the podium in sixth place by three seconds behind Marmolejo, outside her personal best of 2:36.02.[5]
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, de Giovanni qualified again for the women's 200 m breaststroke by breaking a new Argentine record and clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:31.15 from the Ohio State Post-NCAA Long Course Invite in Columbus, Ohio.[6] She challenged seven other swimmers on the third heat, including her former rival Marmolejo, and defending semifinalist Inna Kapishina of Belarus. She raced to seventh place by two seconds behind Serbia's Nađa Higl in 2:34.94, just exactly a second faster than her time set in Athens. De Giovanni failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed thirty-seventh overall in the preliminary heats.[7]
De Giovanni is also a former member of the swimming team for Alabama Crimson Tide, and a graduate of international relations at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
