At his first long course championships, Correia made big strides, even though he came away with no medals. He made the final of the 100 free, placing 8th (48.90) after swimming a personal best of 48.33 in the semi finals. He also placed 17th in the 200 free (1:47.26). Correia’s biggest role may have been on Brazil’s relays. In the 4×100 free, Correia threw down a personal best of 47.97 on the anchor leg in Brazil’s 6th place showing. In the prelims of the 4×200 free relay, Correia split 1:46.03 on the anchor leg to help Brazil to a new South American record of 7:07.12. The relay placed 7th in the final heat at 7:07.64.0
