Ward Bauwens (born May 4, 1993 in Leuven) is a Belgian swimmer, who specialized in individual medley events.[1][2] Bauwens is a resident athlete for Brabo Antwerp, and currently, a medicine student at the University of Antwerp.[1]
Before his Olympic debut, Bauwens broke his own 400 IM record several times. On March 16, 2012, he posted a time of 4:19.55 to blast a 16-year-old record (4:19.82), held by Stefaan Maene since 1995, at the Belgian Championships in Antwerp.[3]
Bauwens qualified for the men's 400 m individual medley, by clearing a 4:19 barrier, and eclipsing a FINA B-cut of 4:18.24 from the European Championships in Debrecen, Hungary.[4][5] He surged past Luxembourg's Raphaël Stacchiotti with a freestyle kick to top the second heat by 0.49 of a second, breaking his own Belgian record of 4:16.71. Bauwens failed to advance into the final, as he placed sixteenth overall on the first day of the preliminaries.[6]
