The time has come! The South American Aquatics Championships are about to begin, and the Flamengo team is ready to make a splash defending Brazil's colors. Between October 31st and November 11th, nine Flamengo artistic swimmers will be representing the Brazilian National Team in Lima, Peru, seeking results that will lead the country to a spot in the 2019 Pan American Games, which will also be held in the Peruvian capital.

The Mais Querido athletes who are with the Brazilian team are: Giovana Stephan, Maria Clara Lobo, Lorena Molinos, Maria Eduarda Miccuci, Laura Miccuci, Gabriela Regly, Jullia Catharino, Jaddy Portela, and Renan Alcântara. The red-and-black coach, Roberta Perillier, will be one of the coaches responsible for leading the green and yellow team.

For Jullia Catharino, this will be a new experience. She will be competing in a South American Championship with the Senior team for the first time.

"This competition will be a very important step for me, both as a person and as an athlete. This is the third South American Championship I'll compete in, but the first with the Senior team, which increases my responsibility even further. As the youngest, I have a lot to learn from the older, and therefore more experienced, swimmers. I'm dedicating myself fully to training with the goal of achieving my best result," said the young swimmer.

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.
