GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida diving welcomes the 2022 Worlds Junior Champion Alexa Fung to the women's swimming and diving 2025-26 roster.
"Alexa is an excellent late addition to an already really strong team for next season," said Florida Head Diving Coach Bryan Gillooly. "She brings a lot of great national and international experience and has been very successful at the highest levels. She is the total package and exactly the type of student athlete we are always looking for at Florida. She's a perfect fit for our program. Excellent athlete, outstanding student and great character."
The Gators' signing class for 2025 now totals 16, with Fung becoming the seventh newcomer to join Florida since the program announced its initial signees last November. At that time, five female swimmers, two male swimmers, and two divers committed to the 2025-26 season.
