Simply Swimming goes back to its Middleton roots. (Wisconsin State Journal, 5/15/2016)
Mather founded the swimming store in 2004 in a 2,000-square-foot location at 6108 Mineral Point Road but was cramped for space. So when the Hongs closed Middleton Sports & Fitness, which also had a large swimwear section, Mather inherited more business which further added to the need for a bigger space.

Looks like they'll be moving from a Mineral Point Road location. Either that or opening a 2nd store at the former Middleton Sports & Fitness location on University Avenue.
Agenda. Design application.

Middleton Cycle remains open, but.....
But that’s not the case for Middleton Sports & Fitness, founded in 1972 by Pat and Bob Faas.
The 11,000-square-foot store at University Avenue and Branch Street is liquidating its inventory after a buyer could not be found.
Rick Hong, 67, said he made the decision to retire in 2012 and had hoped to find someone to take over the business.
