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.
