Esporte Clube Pinheiros finished as runner-up at the Troféu José Finkel, the Brazilian Absolute Swimming Championship, securing a total of 11 gold, 15 silver, and 15 bronze medals.

Nine club athletes achieved qualifying times for the World Championships in China. Head coach André Ferreira noted that while the last-minute absence of four athletes impacted relay structures, the team expects at least five athletes—Caio Pumputis, Leonardo Santos, Murilo Sartori, Pedro Sansone, and Kaique Alves—to be selected for the national team, pending official confirmation.

Notable relay performances included the women’s 4x100m medley team winning gold with a time of 3:58.00, featuring Maria Luiza Peessanha, Mercedes Salazar, Clarissa Rodrigues, and Beatriz Bezerra. The men’s 4x100m medley team, composed of Ricardo Balduccini, Caio Pumputis, Leonardo Santos, and Kaique Alves, earned silver with a time of 3:26.21.

During the third day of the championship, the club secured a gold medal in the 4x50m mixed medley relay with a time of 1:39.15. The winning quartet included Beatriz Bezerra, Clarissa Rodrigues, Caio Pumputis, and Caio Carvalho. On that same day, the club also earned two silver and three bronze medals. The Troféu José Finkel continues to serve as a primary selection event for the Brazilian national team ahead of the Short Course World Championships in Beijing, China.
