Its most famous swimmer was Alexandre Yokochi, who played at Benfica his entire career. He was part of the S.L. Benfica Swimming team who won the EEC (European Economic Community) European Champions Clubs Cup in 1990.[1] Apart from the individual titles and the ECC European Champions Clubs Cup, Benfica has won the Absolute National Championship 4 times, the Women's National Championship 2 times and the Men's National Championship 8 times.[2] Arguably, the most successful years in the swimming section was in the early 1990s, when the men's team won 6 national titles in 8 seasons.[3]
