Kim Bang-Hyun OLY (also Bryan Kim, Korean: 김 방현; born June 25, 1979) is a South Korean former swimmer who specialized in the individual medley but also competed in freestyle and butterfly events.[1] He is a three-time Olympian (1996, 2000, and 2004), and a two-time bronze medalist in the freestyle relays at the Asian Games (1998 and 2002). Kim became the first ever South Korean swimmer to train in the United States, where he attended the University of Florida on a full athletic scholarship. While swimming for the Florida Gators under head coach Gregg Troy, Kim earned four All-American swimming honors in both the 200 and 400-meter individual medley events at the NCAA Championships. Kim also holds a total of eighteen South Korean records, set while competing for the Korean national team.
