Ermelinda Zamba (born August 28, 1981) is a Mozambican former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] Zamba qualified for the women's 50 m freestyle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by receiving a Universality place from FINA, in an entry time of 30.33.[2][3] She cleared a 30-second barrier, and posted a lifetime best of 29.34 to lead the third heat, edging out Madagascar's Aina Andriamanjatoarimanana in a close race by one hundredth of a second (0.01). Zamba failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed fifty-fifth overall out of 75 swimmers on the last day of preliminaries.[4][5]
