Being just three hundredths away from gold in a European Championship always leaves that little taste that it could have been even better, but competing for the European title until the last meter against a world champion is a great motivation. The silver has a lot of value and shows me that I am still at the highest international level,&#8221; Jos\u00e9 Juan Aranda said after the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The representative of the Vulcania Master Swimming Club was also very close to getting on the podium in the 50 meter freestyle, a test in which he achieved a creditable fourth position with a time of 25.60, confirming his great form in the speed tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A brilliant end to the season<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The medal won in \u0160amor\u00edn puts the finishing touch to a particularly outstanding season for the Lanzarote swimmer, who has won several national titles and continues to accumulate great results in the main international masters category competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last December, Jos\u00e9 Juan Aranda already managed to become European Master champion in the 50-meter backstroke in the short course, during the European Championships held in Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That gold and the silver now achieved in Slovakia consolidate the Vulcania Master swimmer among the leading Spanish specialists in speed events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It has been a brilliant end to the season. The results achieved in recent months give me a lot of confidence and, above all, a lot of motivation to continue training and face new challenges,&#8221; says Aranda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His recent international results also include the runner-up finish in the World Masters achieved in Singapore, in addition to the different national titles achieved during the 2025\/2026 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Budapest 2027, the next big goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With hardly any time to savor the latest results, Jos\u00e9 Juan Aranda is already looking towards his next great challenge. The Budapest 2027 Masters World Championship appears marked as one of the main objectives of the next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Lanzarote swimmer will face the coming months with the intention of maintaining his progression and continuing to compete at the highest international level, seeking new medals to expand a track record that has placed him among the best master specialists in his category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Budapest 2027 on the horizon, Aranda begins a new stage with ambition intact and with the objective of continuing to bring the name of Lanzarote to the great stages of international masters swimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/gradacero.es\/natacion\/3095-jose-juan-aranda-se-proclama-subcampeon-de-europa-master-en-los-50-espalda\">gradacero.es<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1285,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","temporada":[1511],"class_list":["post-1284","press","type-press","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","temporada-1511"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>gradacero.es \u2013 26\/08\/2006 - Be Water Training | English Version<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/bewatertraining.com\/en\/press\/gradacero-es-26-08-2006\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"gradacero.es \u2013 26\/08\/2006 - Be Water Training | English Version\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The CN Vulcania Master swimmer won the silver medal in the +50 category and again touched the podium with a fourth position in the 50 meter freestyle.
