Luis Alberto Nicolao (born June 28 1944 in Buenos Aires) is a retired butterfly swimmer from Argentina who in 1962 twice broke the world record in the men’s 100 metres butterfly (long course). He first did so on April 24 1962 in Rio de Janeiro Brazil where he clocked 58.4. Three days later he raised the standard to 57.0. Five years after that performance US swimming ace Mark Spitz broke Nicolao’s top time.
