Federico Zwanck (born 1 March 1934) is an Argentine former freestyle swimmer. In the National Championships of Argentina in 1952, he was victorious in the 200m, 400m and 800m.[1] He competed in three events at the 1952 Summer Olympics.[2] In 1955, he competed in the Pan American Games, in which he won two silver medals, one in 4 × 100 m medley and another in 4 × 200 m freestyle.[3]
In September 1956,[4] he and his teammates achieved the South American record for 4x200 freestyle.[4][5] It was then planned that he competed in the 1956 Summer Olympics, but the political situation did not allow it.[5] He and his teammates had received presents from ex-president Juan Perón and the new government did not permit their participation.[5]
