Maxim Tsyfarov was named the Sunshine State Conference Men’s Swimmer of the Week on Oct. 14 after recording three first-place finishes for Lynn University men’s swimming in its 165-39 victory over Barry on Oct. 10 in Boca Raton, Fla. The senior produced two individual victories and helped Lynn University secure a relay win in the meet.
Tsyfarov joined Xavier Washington, Mike Topchanalis and Brady Moore on Lynn University’s winning 400-yard medley relay team. The quartet finished first in 3:20.54. The result was Tsyfarov’s first of three event victories against Barry.
Tsyfarov then won the 200-yard individual medley in 1:54.28. Lynn University teammate Luke Labrose finished second in 1:55.72, giving the Fighting Knights the top two places in the event. Tsyfarov added his second individual win in the 200-yard breaststroke, finishing in 2:08.79.
The award makes Tsyfarov the second Lynn University men’s swimmer to receive the weekly honor this season. Teammate Paolo Agogeri previously earned the recognition after Lynn University’s season-opening meet against Nova Southeastern. Tsyfarov is a senior from Yoqneam, Israel.
Lynn University men’s swimming is scheduled to compete in the Lynn Alumni Meet on Oct. 17, 2026. The Fighting Knights are also scheduled to compete in the Panther Invite beginning Oct. 30, 2026. Both meets follow Tsyfarov’s three-win performance against Barry.
FSB Take
Tsyfarov’s weekly honor follows a performance that included a relay victory and two individual wins. His results helped Lynn University men’s swimming defeat Barry 165-39 in Boca Raton. He is the second Lynn University swimmer recognized by the Sunshine State Conference this season.
