Walter Dario Arciprete (born May 25, 1979) is an Argentine former swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke and in individual medley events.[1] He represented Argentina at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and achieved numerous Argentine titles and records from the national championships, including his 50 m breaststroke standard (27.81) that stood for more than a decade.[2][3]

Arciprete competed only in the men's 200 m individual medley at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He achieved a FINA B-cut of 2:07.52 from the Argentine Long Course Nationals in Buenos Aires.[4] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat two, including Kazakhstan's 29-year-old Grigoriy Matuzkov. Coming out strongly from a breaststroke leg, Arciprete faded shortly on the final lap to a fifth seed in 2:08.89, just 3.44 seconds behind winner Matuzkov. Arciprete failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-fifth overall in the prelims.[3][5][6]
