Indiana went on a tear in the final session of the 2026 Bergen Swim Festival, putting up multiple wins and top-10 times globally.
Wasn’t there a college coach this week talking ish about Matt King and saying he regressed LCM?
King has been rolling at this meet
Yes, there was. It’s disappointing when a coach feels the need to tear down other programs instead of recruiting swimmers on his own merit and integrity. I hope that swimmer chose wisely! Matt is an incredible athlete and absolutely on fire right now. Every athlete has ups and downs in their career — it’s their perseverance and grit that carries them through, and they almost always come out the other side faster and stronger.
Technically, nothing he said was wrong up until this point
who was that coach?
Matt Bowe (unverified text, but nobody has disputed it yet either).

I’m wondering if that text was to Julian Koch
I’ve been told Brady Campbell.
oh so this was a while ago. Guess that makes sense, considering Campbell eventually did commit to IU.
This makes too much sense. Campbell also being from Ohio and I have to imagine that’s a state Bowe is familiar with and is a main focus of his recruiting every year. how interesting.
So did the coach matt bowe send another swimmer that message and in that message he talked about matt king?
Correct. And it was allegedly sent several weeks after Brady committed to Indiana.
Now this is interesting…
