American Olympic gold medalist Michael Andrew has made the move to train in Hawaii full-time.
Andrew, 26, announced last year that he was moving on from his father, Peter Andrew, as his coach after the two had worked side-by-side throughout Michael’s competitive career.
Just over one month later, Andrew revealed that he was joining the pro group at Arizona State University under coach Herbie Behm, who has turned the Sun Devils into a powerhouse sprint program over the last few seasons.
Recent social media posts have indicated Andrew was spending a lot of time in Hawaii, though nothing was confirmed. SwimSwam reached out to Andrew about his new training base, but has not received a response.
However, referencing Hawaii, he said he was “back for good” in a recent Instagram comment, with his bio also currently showing Oahu as his pinned location.
Behm confirmed to SwimSwam that Andrew spent six weeks in Hawaii following the 2025 World Championships, and after that experience, decided to make the permanent move due to both the lifestyle and his willingness to reunite with Peter and see the rest of his career through together.
Andrew has been working with Peter, who announced in August that he was heading up a new USRPT program at a club in Oahu, since September, Behm said.
“I’m fully supportive of his move and appreciate the season he spent with us at ASU,” Behm told SwimSwam. “Michael is a great guy and left here with no hard feelings whatsoever.”
Andrew made the original coaching change on the heels of a disappointing 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials, missing the American Olympic team after finishing 5th in the men’s 50 free (21.81), 8th in the 100 breast (1:00.11) and 16th in the 100 fly (52.98) in Indianapolis.
Andrew also narrowly missed the 2023 U.S. World Championship team, meaning he failed to qualify for two straight major U.S. teams after qualifying for four straight from the 2018 Pan Pacs to the 2022 World Championships.
After heading to ASU, Andrew bounced back by qualifying for the 2025 World Championship team by placing 2nd in the men’s 50 breast (26.92) and 50 fly (23.21) at the U.S. National Championships in June. His swim in the 50 fly also ended up earning him a spot on the 2026 Pan Pacific Championship roster.
At the 2025 Worlds, he placed 16th in the 50 fly (23.23) and 25th in the 50 breast (27.37).
He also attended all three legs of the World Cup this fall, only earning two final appearances in the 50 breast in Toronto (4th) and Westmont (7th).
At the U.S. Open in early December, he raced all four 50s, placing 14th in the 50 back (25.65), 15th in the 50 fly (24.07), 20th in the 50 breast (28.02) and 28th in the 50 free (22.95).
