Technical analysis shows Gui Caribe swam the first 25m in 10.11 seconds, including the start and underwater phase. Compared to other top swimmers, this figure is within standard range. The third 25m took 12.09 seconds, indicating a potential weakness at the 50m turn, but the final 25m was 11.87 seconds, showing good recovery.
