On the one hand, the fifteen and more years of an international career, two Olympic participations and more than 30 medals won between world and European championships. On the other hand, the desire to share what I have learned with the most young people between sport and values such as respect for rules and opponents, the importance of sacrifices – said Luca Dotto – Precisely for this reason I want to end my career in 2024 with the Paris games, to then concentrate and carry on my project of the Swim Academy, founded in 2019 to bring the little ones closer to the world of swimming “(ANSA).
