Artur Dilman (Kazakh: Артур Дильман; born August 29, 1990 in Almaty) is a Kazakhstani swimmer, who specialized in freestyle and individual medley events.[1] He is a multiple-time national record holder and a five-time medalist for the freestyle, medley, and relay swimming events at the Asian Indoor Games (2007 in Macau, China and 2009 in Hanoi, Vietnam).[2] He also won a bronze medal, as a member of the Kazakhstan swimming team, in the 4×100 m medley relay at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.

Dilman qualified for the men's 200 m freestyle at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 1:52.42 from the Kazakhstan Open Championships in Almaty.[3] He challenged six other swimmers in heat two, including four-time Olympian Andrei Zaharov of Moldova, and his current college teammate Vladimir Sidorkin of Estonia. He raced to fifth place by 0.24 of a second behind Algeria's Mahrez Mebarek with a time of 1:52.90. Dilman failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed fifty-second out of 58 swimmers in the preliminaries.[4]

On June 17, 2012, Dilman ordered a six-month suspension by the Kazakhstan Swimming Federation, after he was tested positive for a banned substance methylhexaneamine, following an in-competition doping test at the ENKA Open in Istanbul.[5][6] On March 13, 2013, Dilman helped out his college team Drury Panthers to claim their ninth consecutive title in the men's freestyle relay at the NCAA Division II Swimming Championships.[7][8]

Dilman is currently playing for the Drury Panthers swimming and diving team under head coach Brian Reynolds, and a sports management major at the Drury University in Springfield, Missouri.
