WUHAN, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- Filipe Pereira of Brazil has high hopes that Brazil's lifesaving team can exceed its own expectations in its first appearance at the 7th CISM Military World Games.

And it certainly could happen as Pereira and teammate Gustavo Gimenes will take part in the tournament in Wuhan, China with a military world record in the 4x50m medley under their belts.

"In Brazil, this sport is still new," Pereira said. "Brazil started this sport five years ago with trainings and we participated in our first competition in Sweden (48th WMC Lifesaving - Halmstad) in 2016, where we broke the record (for the 4x50m medley)."

The 33-year-old lifeguard from Rio de Janiero believes that since that championship in Sweden, Brazil has been getting better and better, with the men already swimming faster than their record time of one minute 32.23 seconds twice in unofficial competitions.

As Yuri Marinho and Pablo Aquino, who were part of that record-breaking quartet, will not be competing in Wuhan, Pereira and Gimenes have two new teammates on board for the Games, and Pereira said he has complete faith in them.

"We're expecting a good race and maybe this team can break our own record," he said.
