NCAA runner-up Anita Bottazzo has announced she will join Indiana for the 2026-2027 season. Bottazzo just finished her sophomore season at Florida.
Bottazzo entered the transfer portal at the end of April and was the top name in the women’s transfer portal remaining.
The rising junior had a big start to her sophomore season, posting a 56.87 in Florida’s dual meet against Virginia. That was the fastest time in the NCAA at that point and also sits as her personal best.
Bottazzo swept the breaststroke events at the 2026 SEC Championships as she swam to a 57.11 in the 100 breast and a 2:07.26 in the 200 breast.
Back in March, she swam to a 2nd place finish in the 100 breast with a 57.00 at the 2026 NCAA Championships. She also was 7th in the 200 breast with a 2:07.13 to score a total of 28.5 individual points.
Lifetime Bests:
100 breast – 56.87 200 breast – 2:06.97 200 IM – 2:01.23 50 free – 23.04 100 free – 49.93The Indiana women finished 2nd at the 2026 Big Ten Championships and went on to finish 7th at the 2026 NCAA Championships with 258 points. They were 38 points behind 6th place Michigan, 43.5 points behind 5th place Tennessee, and 45 points behind 4th place Cal.
Bottazzo is a big addition to the Indiana roster as they did not score any points in either the 100 or 200 breaststrokes at 2026 NCAAs. Her breaststroke split of a 56.10 in the 400 medley at NCAAs would have made Indiana’s 400 medley relay move all the way up from 7th (3:25.17) to 2nd overall as Indiana’s breaststroke split was a 59.62. This makes her a crucial addition to the team’s medley relays.
Despite the women’s breaststroke group not scoring any points at 2026 NCAAs, the breaststroke group on the men’s side is strong so she will have strong training partners. Those names include Van Mathias, Josh Matheny, and Alexei Avakov.
