Ahmed Jaouadi swimming competition performance

Overview

Tunisian swimmer Ahmed Jaouadi has achieved significant success in recent competitions in the United States.

In late September 2026, Jaouadi won two gold medals—the 1,000-yard freestyle and the 200-yard freestyle—during the Florida Gators' first collegiate meet of the season against Florida Atlantic. These victories contributed to a dominant team performance by the Florida Gators.

By mid-October 2026, Jaouadi continued his success at the UVA Pro Elite SCM Worlds Prep Meet in Charlottesville. Competing in a 25-meter pool, he secured gold medals in the 800m and 1,500m freestyle events. Notably, his 1,500m freestyle time of 14:29.94 saw him defeat American Olympic champion Bobby Finke, while his 800m freestyle time of 07:33.79 was recorded as the second-best performance in the world for the year. These results serve as preparation for the short-course World Championships in Beijing.
