Ahmed Jaouadi Enters a New Chapter With Red Bull
By Tunez Magazine ·
Ahmed Jaouadi is now part of the Red Bull athlete roster, adding one of the world’s most recognizable sports brands to the growing international profile of the Tunisian swimmer. Red Bull has published an official athlete profile for Jaouadi, placing him among its global network of athletes.
But the relationship had already started to take shape before the official profile appeared.
On August 21, 2026, Red Bull shared a skydiving video featuring Jaouadi, introducing the Tunisian champion in a setting far removed from the swimming pool. And the choice of setting could not have been more fitting for the brand. As Jaouadi took to the sky, the famous Red Bull line, “Red Bull gives you wings,” suddenly became more than a slogan.
The video offered an early glimpse of Jaouadi’s arrival into the Red Bull universe, introducing him not through another swimming race, but through speed, altitude and adventure.
The move comes after one of the biggest periods of Jaouadi’s young career.
At the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, the Tunisian won both the 800m and 1500m freestyle, becoming a double world champion at just 20 years old.
Those victories added to a record that was already attracting international attention. In 2024, Jaouadi won the 1500m freestyle at the World Short Course Championships in Budapest and took bronze in the 800m.
His progression has continued through American college swimming. Representing the Florida Gators, Jaouadi became the second Gator to win the NCAA men’s 1650 yard freestyle in 2026, while also taking the SEC title in the event.
And his latest return to competition has already produced more wins.
On September 26, Jaouadi opened Florida’s 2026 to 2027 season against Florida Atlantic by winning both the 1,000 yard freestyle in 8:57.88 and the 200 yard freestyle in 1:37.42.
For a Tunisian swimmer who has already gone from junior competition to world champion, the Red Bull chapter adds another dimension to his story.
The August skydiving video now feels almost like an introduction. Jaouadi is known for spending his races deep in the water, pushing through some of swimming’s most demanding distances. Red Bull introduced him somewhere completely different, in the air.
