Zalan Sarknay wins gold in the 800m at the SC World Championship for Hungary. He was able to do it in front of a home crowd which is awesome for him.

Another big time transfer coming in. Sounds like NIL for swimming is in a great place.

Awesome.

Countering Texas' mid-season Chris Guiliano addition with this. Love it.

I especially love that he is also a great freestyle sprinter. That'll help relays and could score some points where IU is weaker.

How amazing would a 100 breast final at the NCAAs be with 4 IU swimmers be? 

I also love that Rafael Miroslaw recruited him at the SC World Championships.

The effect of the football team's season on the swim team:

Obvious SEC fan whining in the comments makes me happy.

A development recruit for the men. I think this is Kristina Paegle's brother.

The swim teams had another dual meet against a top tier team. They split with Florida (both teams ranked 4th), with the men winning. They took on Texas earlier this season. Since dual meet records don't really matter, I wish there was more of this is swimming. I'm glad they're doing it this year.

Matt King and Rafael Miroslaw are swimming with the men now. No Caspar Corbeau yet. Zalan Sarkany also didn't compete.

Owen McDonald won 3 individual events.

Texas' misfortune improves IU's chances at winning the NC this year.

Ksawery Masiuk won't join Texas this season as previously expected. Too bad, so sad.

New out of California.  Olympic medal winner Gary Hall Jr., son of 3-time IU Olympian Gary Hall Sr. has lost his house and all of his 10 Olympic medals in the California wildfires.

The men and women both easily beat ranked Michigan.

IU diving getting some press of their own. It's deserved and if IU wins a national championship this year it'll be because the divers played a large part. They've played a large part in the great finishes IU has had recently. IU diving has produced for a long time.

Pretty cool that they're getting facilities that other schools don't have.

This Saturday in West Laffy, both mens and womens face PUke.  A double win would mean 2 more points in the Governor's Cup competition but more importantly, another slap in PUke's face.

You can take 2 wins to the bank. It won't even be close.

That's what I wanted to add but did see PUke's women are/were #18 by Swim and Swam and I don't follow the sport that closely to know if that should be a concern or not.  I know the men's competition will be the equivalent of our 2024 Bucket win.

Not a concern. IU just throttled Michigan, whose women's team is top 10. The rankings are based on the top of the roster, those who might score at NCAAs. IU is better at the top and is also much deeper.

Men curb stomp the Toiletmakers and the women make it a sweep in West Laffy.

The Hoosiers split with Louisville (at UL) in the final dual meet of the season. The men won and the women lost. They also set 6 pool records in the process.
