Collegiate Career: At the 2006 NCAA Men's Swimming and Diving Championships held at the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center in Atlanta, Georgia, Lochte won individual titles in all three of his individual events, setting U.S. Open and American records in the 200-yard individual medley and the 200-yard backstroke. He broke Tom Dolan's nearly decade-old NCAA record in the 400-yard individual medley. He set another U.S. Open and American record in the 100-yard backstroke leading off the 4×100-yard medley relay for the Florida Gators. This time was faster than the record in the 100-yard butterfly at the time.^[3] The record in the 100-yard butterfly has since been lowered under Lochte's backstroke record. Lochte was the NCAA swimmer of the meet for his senior year.Other accomplishments in 2006 include breaking the 11-year-old Southeastern Conference (SEC) record in the 100-yard butterfly previously held by John Hargis. After finishing his fourth year of collegiate eligibility with the Gators, he was sponsored by Speedo, thus turning professional.
