IMG Academy Launches Swimming Program, New Aquatic Center<\/strong><\/p>\n

IMG Academy is getting into the swimming game, its 12th sports program, with the launch of IMG Academy Swimming. It seeks to make Bradenton, Fla., a destination for top swimmers in the way it is in other sports.<\/p>\n

IMG\u2019s investment in swimming is, \u201cone of the largest in IMG Academy\u2019s history.\u201d It\u2019s the 12th sport in its portfolio and the third added in 2025, with wrestling and boys volleyball.<\/p>\n

The program will be based at a new Aquatic Center, a 10-lane, 54-meter pool at a 9,345-square-foot facility. Ground will be broken on the pool on Nov. 20, with an estimated open day of March 2027. IMG is beginning the process of hiring a leader of the swimming program.<\/p>\n

From the press release:<\/p>\n

The Swimming program will develop elite swimmers through world-class coaching, cutting-edge facilities, and year-round training opportunities. The Aquatic Center also enables IMG Academy to host top-level meets, camps, and community programs, providing student-athletes with access to premier resources while positioning IMG Academy as the world leader in sports education.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThis expansion represents a one-of-one opportunity to enhance our unrivaled student-athlete experience only found at IMG Academy,\u201d Mike Milliron,<\/strong> Chief Operating Officer of IMG Academy Campus, said in a press release<\/a>. \u201cThe addition of our Aquatic Center and swimming program not only addresses the growing demand for aquatic sports but also strengthens our commitment to developing the next generation of leaders. This investment reinforces our purpose of empowering student-athletes to win their future through unmatched training, education, and personal growth opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBreaking ground on the Aquatic Center will be a major milestone for IMG Academy,\u201d said Brian Nash,<\/strong> Vice President of Athletics. \u201cOur focus is on fostering the growth of every student-athlete, athletically, academically, and personally. By expanding programs in Wrestling, Volleyball, Softball, and now Swimming, we are creating more opportunities for student-athletes to develop their skills, push their limits, and reach their fullest potential. With world-class coaching, facilities, and support, we are committed to helping each student-athlete grow into the best version of themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

IMG Academy is a leading sports destination for a number of sports at the elite level, with a boarding school and camps at the campus in Bradenton.<\/p>\n

IMG has attempted to start a swim program before, launching one in 2008 that was short-live<\/a>.<\/p>\n
