The buzz around him is that he's very raw - the Swimmers Circle reported that he's a former water polo player. Garcia is in lane 3, right above Cesar Cielo. It's immediately clear that Garcia has a terrible start. His reaction time was very slow. His feet were far from being pointed, and he carries little momentum into the water. Consequently, he comes up nearly a body length behind the entire field. He was about 0.8 - 0.9 behind Cielo to the 15 meter mark. His stroke is short and choppy but with a pretty fast turnover.
