Franck Esposito (born 13 April 1971 in Salon-de-Provence, Bouches-du-Rhône)[1] is a former World Record holding, and four-time Olympic, butterfly swimmer from France. He swam for France at the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympics; and won the bronze medal in the 200 Butterfly at the 1992 Olympics.[2] During his career, he set the short course World Record in the 200 fly four times.
He won a total number of four European titles in long course, starting from 1991. Esposito broke the world record in the 200 m butterfly (short course) four times.
At the 1991 World Championships, he lowered the French Record in the long course 200 Fly for the first time (1:59.00). He subsequently bettered the record six more times, and as of 2013 still holds the record at 1:54.62 which he swam at the 2002 French Championships (at the time, also a European Record).[3] He also held the French Record in the long course 100 fly from August 1993-April 2008.[4]
