The University of Florida announced the addition of Ahmed Jaouadi to its men’s swimming & diving roster on Friday, with the Tunisian fresh off winning a pair of World Championship titles last week in Singapore.

Although SwimSwam cannot confirm that Jaouadi will join the Gators in the upcoming 2025-26 season, given that he’s 20, and that other recent international commitments are joining their college teams right away, including another recent Florida commit, Dutch breaststroker Koen de Groot, that is presumably the case with Jaouadi.
Jaouadi proved that he was the best male distance freestyler on the planet at the 2025 World Championships, kicking things off by winning gold in the men’s 800 freestyle in a time of 7:36.88, a new textile world record and the third-fastest performance in history.
The Tunisian followed up by claiming the 1500 free title in 14:34.41, emerging after a close battle with Germany’s Sven Schwarz (14:35.69) and American (and now, future training partner) Bobby Finke (14:36.60) to rank #6 all-time in the event.
The University of Florida is now the training home of three of the world’s best distance freestylers, as in addition to Finke and now Jaouadi, female GOAT Katie Ledecky trains in Gainesville with head coach Anthony Nesty.
The addition of Jaouadi will be significant for the Gators, as he’ll immediately be a big favorite to win the NCAA title in the 1650 freestyle, and he’ll also be a contender in the 500 free. Last season, Gio Linscheer was Florida’s lone scorer in either event at NCAAs, placing 12th in the 500 free (4:12.05) and 9th in the 1650 free (14:33.10).
Although maybe lacking a bit at the top end the Gators do have a deep distance group, with Linscheer joined by Jake Mitchell, Oskar Lindholm, Josh Parent, Luke Corey and Eric Brown under the 15-minute barrier in the 1650 last season (and Luke Whitlock, who has transferred to Indiana). Among that group, only Lindholm and Mitchell have exhausted their NCAA eligibility.
More to come.
