He participated in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens,[1] competing in the Men's 100-meter Freestyle. His heat time was 51.74 seconds, which was not enough to advance to the semi-finals. Ortiz also represented his native country at the World Championships (long course) in 2001 and 2003.
Шаблон:Quote box Despite qualifying to represent Panama in the 2008 Olympics with a time below 23.00 seconds, domestic political circumstances prevented him from competing in the games, causing a small public outcry in his home country.[2][3]
He swam for the USA's Drury University from 2005 to 2007.[4] He graduated with a degree in Fine Art in 2008, and currently teaches youth swimming in Miami.[5]

- Ortiz is a noted fan of the manga series Naruto, admittedly spending hours on end watching pirated YouTube transcriptions of the comics.Шаблон:Citation needed Playful attempts at coining the nickname "Pablo Naruto" (cf. Chilean love poet Pablo Neruda), a pun derived from his characteristic romantic Latin machismo and his aforementioned otaku tendencies, never stuck.
Ortiz is also an avid sailor according to the Denver post.
