Ariana Kukors (born June 1, 1989) is an American former competition swimmer and former world record holder in the 200-meter individual medley (long course). Kukors has won a total of seven medals in major international competition, two golds, three silvers, and two bronze spanning the World and the Pan Pacific Championships. She placed fifth in the 200-meter individual medley event at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Kukors was born in Federal Way, Washington, in 1989, the daughter of Peter and Jaapje Kukors. Kukors began swimming at the age of five because of the influence of her older sister, Emily, who swam for Auburn University. Kukors also has one younger sister, Mattie, who previously swam for the University of Michigan from 2009 to 2011, and now swims for Arizona State University. Kukors is a 2007 graduate of Auburn Mountainview High School in Auburn, Washington. Kukors swam for the Washington Huskies swim team at the University of Washington for one year, but left the university after the swim teams were cut as a cost-saving measure by the UW athletic department. In August 2009, Kukors relocated to Fullerton, California to train with the Fullerton Aquatics Sports Team (FAST), after her coach Sean Hutchison was named head coach. Kukors trains alongside Katie Hoff, Margaret Hoelzer, and Caroline Burckle. Kukors is sponsored by TYR. Kukors graduated from Chapman University with a bachelor's degree in business in 2012.
