Flamengo will once again be well represented in an international artistic swimming competition. Flamengo's Ana Clara de Almeida, Jullia Catharino, Jaddy Passos, and Rebecca Rodrigues have been selected to join the Brazilian National Team competing in the South American Youth and Junior Championships. The event will take place from April 2nd to 6th in Santiago, Chile, and will feature Marina Valadão, the Mais Querido's coach, who will lead the Brazilian squad in the Junior category.
On the Junior team, Ana Clara de Almeida will represent the red-and-black team in the Figures, Team, and Combo events. On the Junior team, Jullia Catharino will compete in the Free and Technical Duets, Free and Technical Teams, and Combo. Jaddy Passos and Rebecca Rodrigues will showcase their talents in the Free and Technical Duets, Free and Technical Teams, and Combo.
For Marina Valadão, the competition will have a special flavor.
"This championship marks my debut as coach of the national team, and I believe it will be very important for me and the girls, because Brazil always enters the South American Championship with the responsibility of defending its title and its status as favorite. This week, we're in our last meeting before the trip and fully focused on synchronizing our routines," the red-and-black player emphasized.
Check out the test themes that will be contested in the competition:
- Technical Solo: Wonder Woman
- Free solo: Warrior
- Technical Duet: Carmen Miranda (Tico-tico no fubá)
- Free Duet: Protectors of Nature
- Free Team: Jumanji

The Brazilian delegation will travel to Santiago on the 31st and will remain in the Chilean capital until April 6th, when the competition ends.
The artistic swimming teams of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo rely on resources from their sponsors – Banco Bonsucesso, Furnas, Estácio, LafargeHolcim/Cimento Mauá, EY – via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR), in addition to support from the Brazilian Confederation of Clubs (CBC) resulting from the decentralization of resources originating from the Pelé Law.
