Aran Bissett, a finalist at the 2026 Aquatics GB Swimming Championships, is headed across the pond next season, having announced his commitment to swim for Purdue University beginning in the fall of 2026.

“Boiler Up!!!”

Currently attending Brighton College, Bissett is originally from Crowborough, England. He has represented Brighton in the pool for the past two years in addition to training with Swim England South East, and he primarily specializes in sprint free and IM.

Bissett recently competed at the 2026 Aquatics GB Swimming Championships (LCM) in mid-April, where he turned in a series of top performances. He qualified for the championship final in the 50 breast, placing 8th overall in 28.20 after logging a personal best time of 27.95 during prelims. Bissett won the men’s junior categories of the 50 free (22.54), 100 free (48.87) and 50 fly (24.16), setting a new lifetime best in all three events. He also won the men’s junior 200 IM (2:01.96) after posting a best time of 2:01.90 during prelims.

At the Kent Championships (LCM) in January, Bissett posted a series of lifetime best performances. He logged times of 1:55.60 in the 200 free and 56.13 in the 100 fly, both of which still stand as his top times in those events. He also turned in personal best times in the 50 free (23.13), 100 free (50.63) and 50 fly (25.16), all of which he lowered even further at the Aquatics GB Championships.
