After taking a gap year to train with the Texas Ford Aquatics Pro Group, Olympic gold medalist Matt King is now back to training with a college team, landing in Bloomington, Indiana. King isn’t competing with the team this semester but is taking classes and training with IU, focusing on short course world champs in December.
King is happy with how his partnership with Indiana has gone so far. Specifically, the NCAA All-American notes that sprint coach John Long, who will be on staff for team USA at short course worlds, has been very collaborative in a way that King has been successful under so far.
If Matt started training for the 200M Free now he would be one of best by 2028 and his 100 would still improve.
Off topic but Italian media is reporting that Ceccon will train at St Peters in 2025.
does that mustache mean something or am I looking into that incorrectly?
Exactly. Not every guy should attempt to grow a stache for Movember, especially if it ends up looking like the stache of one of the most notoriously awful men in history.
Sus…
seems like a good guy. Likeable.
To those who follow swimming and are looking for the complete and accurate story, Matt King DID NOT train at Ford Mustang Pro Group. He trained at Texas Ford Aquatics(TFA) in Frisco, Texas. He trained under Coley Stickels – Pro Head Coach /High Performance Coach. Congrats to Coach Stickels for training and preparing Matt for the Olympics, and to Matt for capitalizing on the opportunity.
Why is this the first im hearing about the Ford Mustang Pro Group, what is that???
Just a Freudian slip.
Toss a few Longhorns in the final and watch ’em get cooked.

5’9 155 and on his 4th installment of a swim program in 5 years and goes 47.9 long course😭
hes taller than 5-9…but he is an absolute savage in the pool. His power to weight ratio is otherworldly to watch in person.
He’s 5’ 9.5, we measured him last night 💪
Are you a mortician?
met him in person, definitely 5’9.5-11ish, unreal speed in the pool. absolutely launches himself off the block too; video never does him justice. I need to find out how he does it because I’m similar by measurables and im not 47.9 LC 😭
Kind of reminds me of Vladimir Morozov. Could he have an opening 50 like Morozov? We’ll find out soon
good comparison. Smaller but crazy speed
