The famous 200m butterfly[edit]
In March of 2017 at the start of the 50m season, Dadó was set to swim 200m butterfly. Him, being a sprinter thought he could use his experience in finishing at a good time. He was put on lane 3 having one of the strongest times in his heat. The match was set and he was off to a flying start. On the break he was clearly first, having mayorly focused on short distances, was not news to him or any one else in the pool. After 50m he held on to the lead with a split of 28 seconds. His coach on the sideline was happy and excited for the rest of the swim. His pace was strong and after 100m he still has the lead with a time of 1.05. However coming in to the turn you could see his arms were starting to fatigue. This had the whole crowd worried and fired up, they started to cheer him on through his struggles. However it was in vain. The training he had done for this event was not enough. Dadós race was almost over at that point. He fell behind the other swimmers and it turned from the butterfly stroke to a non existing stroke. The struggle was so real, the lifeguard stood up and saw that he had his job cut out for him. Dadó slowly advanced to the other side and lunched his body forward on true belief and faith. He touched the 150m mark at extremely slow pace of 1.45. That means his third leg was 40 seconds, a disgrace some spectators said. Dadós race was over as other contestants turned and moved on with the race. Dadó swam to the side and hit the showers. He would not swim 200m butterfly in the long course ever again.
