As a Gator swimmer, he received eighteen All-American honors. Mangabeira graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree in food and resource economics in 2004.

International career

He started swimming at the instigation of his grandfather, who was a swimming teacher, at the age of two years. He tried judo at 10 years old, but left due to his mother. His first club was the Canto do Rio in Niterói. At age 13, he moved to Fluminense. Three years later, he moved to Vasco, where he stayed until 2000. [2]

Prior to the 2004 Olympics, he came to the United States, where he was trained by the Olympic champion Anthony Nesty. [2] At the 2004 Summer Olympics, Mangabeira made it to the finals of the 100-metre butterfly where he finished in sixth place, beating the South American record, and swimming alongside well-known swimmers like Ian Crocker and Michael Phelps. [1] [2]
