Raminta Dvariškytė (born February 1, 1990) is a Lithuanian swimmer who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] She is a multiple Lithuanian champion, and a two-time national record holder in both the breaststroke and medley relay events.
Dvariskyte qualified for the women's 200 m breaststroke at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:33.35 from the European Championships in Eindhoven, Netherlands.[2][3] She won the first heat by approximately five seconds ahead of Finland's Noora Laukkanen and Brazil's Tatiane Sakemi in her personal best of 2:33.32, just 0.03 of a second faster than her entry time. Dvariskyte failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed thirty-fifth out of 41 swimmers in the preliminary heats.[4]
At the 2009 FINA World Championships in Rome, Italy, Dvariskyte helped out her team to set two Lithuanian records in the preliminary heats of both freestyle and medley relays, clocking at 3:54.97 and 4:12.30, respectively.[5][6]
Dvariškytė is a member of the swimming team, along with her compatriot Mindaugas Sadauskas for the SMU Mustangs, and also a student in real estate and finance at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
