Team Personnel

The Spanish team of Sabadell was formed of members of the Club Natació Sabadell, an aquatic sports club. Founded in 1916 and based at the Piscina Can Llong, it is now regarded as probably the most important swimming club in Spain, and has sent many members to the Olympics. However, it is probably best known for its women's water polo team, which has been the most successful team in the national championship in recent years with nine titles since 2000. In 2011 it won the European Cup, becoming the first Spanish team to win this competition. The men's team won its third national cup in 2012. The club members' sporting prowess also served them well in Bellezze al Bagno, in which they recorded a series of victories.

Additional Information

For the first time, there was a tie in the first place at the end of a Bellezze al Bagno competition, so Italian team Vieste was declared the winner for recording the best time on the Underwater Kiss game, setting a record in this season of 2 minutes 14 seconds.

In the first game, the Spanish team was disqualified because one of the players invaded the opposite course. This resulted with Italy finishing in 3rd place instead of 4th. If the Teruel team hadn’t made this error, the Vieste team would not only have finished second in this heat, but they would also have failed to qualify for the final!
