Aysu Türkoğlu (born 2 May 2001) is a Turkish swimmer specializing in open water swimming.[1] As of 2024, she has completed three of the Oceans Seven swimming events.

Early years in swimming

[edit]

Aysu Türkoğlu started swimming at age seven in the Bodrum Swimming Club, inspired by her older sister Aynur,[2] who was a swimmer competing at national level.[3]

In the years between 2015 and 2017, she took part in all four swimming styles of all different distances in the pool.[2] Although successful in her age classes, she thought that "she was not fast enough in sprint swimming in pool", and so she chose open water swimming.[3]

In 2016, while studying in 9th grade, she swam for the first time in an interscholastic long-distance swim competition held at İçmeler, Marmaris, Muğla Province, and became champion in the 6 km event. She performed triathlon for a while in 2018. However, she decided on endurance swimming for the future.[3]

Open water swimming career

[edit]

She won several titles in the 1.5 km, 3 km and 10 km events at the Marathon Masters Winter Championships and some local open water tournaments between 2017 and 2021.[2]

In the night of 29-30 July 2022, Türkoğlu swam the English Channel, a part of the Oceans Seven series, from England to Cap Gris-Nez, France in a time of 16:28 as the youngest swimmer.[1][2][3][4]

As the first Turkish woman and the youngest Turkish swimmer, she completed the 26 mi (42 km)-long North Channel between Ireland and Scotland, an Oceans Seven event, at 11:48.19 on 19 August 2022.[1][5][6]

She became champion in the 2 km, 3 km and 5 km events at the International Aquamasters Open Water Swimming Championship in Bodrum in October and in Marmaris in November 2022.[2]

She swam the around 17 mi (27 km)-long Cook Strait in New Zealand, which is another Oceans Seven swim event, in a time of 7:21.40 on 20 March 2024.[1][6]

Personal life

[edit]

Aysu Türkoğlu was born to Mustafa Türkoğlu, a retired boat manufacturer, and his spouse Yurdakul, a municipality employee, in Bodrum district of Muğla Province, southwestern Turkey on 2 May 2001.[3][6] She has an older sister Aynur, also a swimmer.[3]

Türkoğlu was schooled in Cumhuriyet Primary School. She then attended Merkez Turgutreis Middle School, and Turgutreis Hayırlı Sabancı Anatolian High School.[3] After graduating from Bodrum Fen Bilimleri High School, she went on to study coaching in the Sports Science Faculty of Ege University in İzmir.[2][3][4]
