Larissa Rodrigues (born 16 November 2004) is a Brazilian Paralympic swimmer.

Early life

[edit]

Rodrigues was born with a congenital malformation of her arms and legs, leaving them small. At the age of 12, she began swimming to move around in the water. Noticing that she had a high performance, she began competing in the initial swimming categories.

Career

[edit]

Rodrigues' first success was at the Brazilian Under-20 Paralympic Swimming Championships, where she won three gold medals in five competitions, including the 200m freestyle, 50m breaststroke and 150m medley.[2] She next competed at the 2022 World Para Swimming Championships in Madeira where she won two bronze medals in the 200m freestyle S3 and 150m individual medley SM3 events.[3][4]
