UniUSA, the governing body for FISU/World University Games sport in the United States, has named a 44 swimmer roster for the upcoming 2026 FISU America Games.
The meet will be held from July 24-26 at the Videna Aquatic Center in Lima, Peru and will host teams from across the Western Hemisphere.
The team was chosen from a pool of around 150 applicants who were self-nominated for consideration.
Among the swimmers on the roster is Alec Enyeart, who raced at the World University Games last year. He finished 7th in the 400 free there.
Both the men’s and women’s teams each include members who raced at the 2026 NCAA Division I Swimming & Diving Championships.

Emily Lundgren (Washington State) — 100 Breast (27th) and 200 Breast (15th, All‑America HM) Mary Macaulay (North Carolina) — 400 IM (15th), 200 IM (16th), plus 400 Medley Relay Kayman Neal (Arizona) — 200 Back and 200 Free (individual) Ava Portello (Rice) — 1650 Free (24th) and 500 Free (37th)Men’s NCAA Qualifiers – 2026

Brazil led the medals table in swimming at the 2024 edition in Cali, Colombia, though the United States finished 2nd thanks in part to the efforts of Joe Hayburn and Lily Mead, both of whom swam for Loyola Maryland. That team was led by Loyola MD head coach Brian Loeffler.
The 2026 team will similarly be well-represented by the Florida Gulf Coast team that Dave Rollins, the coach of Team USA, leads in Fort Myers. Izzy Ackley, a 2025 NCAA Championship qualifier, and Aislyn Barnett, an ASUN Champion, will both head to Peru as part of the team.
He’ll be supported by Team Lead Molly Hebzynski from Oakland University and assistant coaches Ryan Bubb from FAU, Lauren Sullivan from Arizona, and Antonio Nunez-Alvarez from FGCU. The team is also working on expanding the staff further now that the roster is set.
