At the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, he swam the 100-metre freestyle, not reaching the finals. He was also ranked to compete in the 4×200-metre freestyle, but at the Brazilian trials, Willy Otto Jordan persuaded the Brazilian principals to make a new classification proof, where Willy took the vacancy of Plauto.
