Jordi Araus passed away at 83 years old, leaving a legacy of sports discipline and civic commitment. Trained at the Devesa pools, he was a pioneer of local swimming under Pipe Sánchez Babot.
“"Jordi was not just a veteran swimmer; he was the living expression of the culture of effort that has guided generations."
Beyond sports, Araus was a key figure in Girona's traditions, such as the Tarlà festivities. He continued his daily 1,000-meter swimming routine at Sant Ponç until his final days.
