200M Super Life Saver World Record-holder Bianca Rayward Commits to Denver for Swimming

Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.

Bianca Rayward from Gold Coast, Australia, will swim for the University of Denver next fall. She wrote on social media at the time of her verbal commitment:

“I am so excited to announce my commitment to the University of Denver to continue my academic and swimming career! I want to thank all my past and present coaches, everyone from @miamiswimmingclub , my family and my friends. Thank you to coach Alicia and coach Lucas for giving me this amazing opportunity! Go Pios! ❤️”

Rayward is an exceptional athlete, who competes in sprint kayaking and surf life saving in addition to swimming. She was on the Junior Australian Life Saving team that raced at the 2024 World Championships, where they broke the 4x50m obstacle relay world record. She was also on the Junior Australian Sprint Kayak team at the 2025 Junior World Championships in Portugal this summer. There, she placed 8th in the K1 Junior Women 1000. Most recently, she broke Lani Pallister’s World Record time in the 200M Super Life Saver at the Battle of the Tasman.

In swimming, Rayward specializes in mid-distance/distance freestyle and butterfly. She earned a best time in the 200 free (2:06.02) at the 2025 Australian Age Group Championships. She placed 5th in the women’s 17 years 400 free (4:25.79) and 9th in the 200 free. Her best times in the 100 free (59.56), 400 free (4:25.46), 800 free (9:17.63), and 1500 free (17:45.28) come from the 2024 version of the same meet. In 2023, she clocked PBs in the 100 fly (1:02.68) and 200 fly (2:21.46) at the Australian Age Group Championships.

The Pioneers dominated the women’s meet at the 2025 Summit League Championships. Rayward’s best times, converted, would have scored in the ‘A’ finals of the 200 free, 500 free, and 100 fly.
