ORLANDO, Fla. - Lynn University men's swimming senior Max Tsyfarov has been named the Sunshine State Conference (SSC) Men's Swimmer of the Week for the second time this season following a dominant performance at the 2nd Annual Florida Tech Classic on Friday, Oct. 30. 

 

The recognition marks Tsyfarov's second weekly honor of the 2026-27 campaign and the third for a Lynn men's swimmer this season, joining Paolo Agogeri, who earned the award earlier this fall. 

 

Tsyfarov captured four first-place finishes, including three individual victories, while establishing two individual meet records to highlight an impressive outing for the Fighting Knights. 

 

The Yoqneam, Israel native opened the meet by helping Lynn's 200-yard medley relay team capture first place in a meet-record time of 1:28.30. Tsyfarov swam the breaststroke leg in 24.15 seconds as the quartet of Georgios Fykatas, Tsyfarov, Mike Topchanalis and Brady Moore edged host Florida Tech by just 0.17 seconds. 

 

Tsyfarov continued his dominant performance in the 100-yard breaststroke, touching the wall in 52.99 to break the previous meet record of 53.79 and secure an NCAA Division II B-cut. 

 

The senior added another meet record in the 100-yard individual medley, clocking a first-place time of 49.40 to finish more than a second ahead of the competition. 

 

He capped off his afternoon with a victory in the 200-yard breaststroke, posting a time of 2:00.81 to finish nearly two seconds ahead of the runner-up. 

 

With three individual victories, two individual meet records and a first-place relay finish, Tsyfarov continued his impressive start to the season while helping the Fighting Knights produce a strong showing against Florida Tech, Indian River State College and St. Thomas.
