note
When he was a child, Henrique divided
his time between swimming (at 8) and
judo. At 12 he decided for the pools.
Very talented he scored expressive
results three years later when he
conquered his first podium at the Brazil
Trophy. He took an International
Relations course in the United States
and trained for seven years in Berkeley,
California. He also lived in Florida (USA)
and in Barcelona (Spain). The former
swimmer Rogério Romero is his idol. In
Beijing 2008 he finished in the 23rd place in the 100m breaststroke and 30th in the 200m breaststroke events.
