Aislyn Barnett has announced she will transfer to Florida Gulf Coast University after spending her freshman and sophomore seasons at Auburn. Barnett is originally from Colorado.
Barnett arrived at Auburn in fall 2023 but finished her freshman season at the team’s first and last chance meets. She swam a lifetime best 2:12.95 in the 200 breast her freshman season. As a sophomore, she did not swim at SECs again, instead finishing her season at the first and last chance meets. She swam to a lifetime best 2:12.12 at the Auburn invite.
Barnett’s best SCY Times:
- 100 breast: 1:02.34 (high school)
- 200 breast: 2:12.12 (sophomore season)
The FGCU women finished 2nd at the 2025 ASUN Championships with 690 points. Liberty captured the conference title with 858.5 points. Izzy Ackley led the way for FGCU with 54.5 points, winning the 100 and 200 backstrokes as well as finishing 3rd in the 100 fly.
Based on her best times, Barnett is a huge boost for the team’s breaststroke group. Barnett’s best 200 breast time would have been 2nd at the ASUN Championships while her 100 breast would have been 4th. FGCU had three women in the ‘A’ final of the 200 breast and two women in the ‘A’ final of the 100 breast.
Cassie Bauer led the team in both events with a 1:01.92 in the 100 breast and a 2:16.10 in the 200 breast. Bauer and Barnett will overlap for two years as Bauer just finished her freshman season while Barnett has two years of eligibility remaining.
Auburn had a surprisingly horrible season this year. Any idea what’s going on there ?
With Liberty moving conferences, FGCU is setting themselves up for a big conference title.
Izzy is so fast in the sprint events.
