The Israeli Olympian Behind Detroit AquaClubs Smashing Success

By Annie Grevers, Swimming World Staff Writer

I remember when former University of Arizona head coach Frank Busch announced that a speedy recruit from Israel named Nimrod had committed to swim for the U of A. Nimrod Shapira Bar-Or; a name that’s hard to remember at first, but never forgotten once learned. We asked Frank to repeat the name a few times to be sure we had it right. Busch quickly began calling Shapira Bar-Or “Hotrod,” whilst the rest of us stuck with a simple “Nim.”

Nim was and is a formidable freestyler; representing Israel at the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games, and currently training for the 2016 Games. He also served the Israeli military, redshirting his senior year, then returning to the Wildcats after serving his country.

Nim has always had an entrepreneurial spirit, founding an online marketplace for study materials called StudyCorner.com as a freshman in college. After moving to Detroit in 2013, Nim wasted no time before founding AquaClub Swim School and Swim Club. After less than two years of operation, AquaClub has expanded to three different locations and was just named a 2016 Bronze Medal Club by USA Swimming.
