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.
Jagozar (“Jag”) Zwaschka has recently signed on to swim with Arizona State University for the fall. A two-sport athlete at Clovis East High School, who also played club water polo with Praetorian Water Polo Club, Zwaschka really exploded in swimming this spring and summer and committed to ASU in August.
Zwaschka comes from a family of outstanding athletes who all swam and played water polo at Clovis East (his sister also played soccer). He could very well have played water polo in college like his older sister, Bria Zwaschka, a rising senior goalkeeper on the UC San Diego women’s water polo team, and brother, Lochan Zwaschka, who played water polo at Pacific.
But he chose swimming.
The data is a little sparse on this swimmer –the only short course times we can find come from high school swimming– but the trajectory is impressive. At the 2022 CIF Central Section Division 1 Championships, the then-freshman swam the 100 free, placing 13th (50.18) and all 3 Clovis East relays. He logged a 22.62 leading off the 4×50 and a PB of 49.97 leading off the 4×100. He also swam a 28.88 breaststroke leg on the medley relay.
As a sophomore in 2023, he placed 14th in the 50 free (22.29) and 11th in the 100 free (49.46), led off the 4×50 (21.95), and split 49.17 on the 4×100, at the Section Championships.
The next year, he was 5th in the 50 (21.22) and 11th in the 100 (48.13) individually. He led off the 4×50, clocking a PB of 21.05 in prelims, and swam breast (27.06) on the medley relay. He then went to the California State Meet and placed 7th in the 50 free (20.64, a PB).
As a senior this year, he won the 50 free (20.09) and 100 free (44.31, a PB by a ton), and logged flying-start splits of 19.15 and 43.75 on the 200 and 400 free relays. At the 2025 CIF State Championships, he placed 4th in the 50 free (20.16) and did not final in the 100 free. He contributed splits of 19.51 and 44.65 to the free relays.
Swimming for Clovis Swim Club this summer, Zwaschka threw down a 22.68 to win the 50 free at the Super League Champs in only his second at-bat in the long course pool. He came in 4th in the 100 free with 53.28 and 10th in the 50 fly with 26.74.
Zwaschka competed at Summer Juniors in the 50 free (4th, 22.93), 50 breast, and 50 fly.
Best times:
| SCY | LCM | |
| 50 free | 19.95 | 22.68 |
| 50 free relay split | 19.15 | |
| 100 free | 44.31 | 53.28 |
| 100 free relay split | 43.75 | 51.41 |
Zwaschka will join future Sun Devil teammates Adam Chaney, Ali Sayed, Andrew Taylor, Brayden Taivassalo, Harrison Smith, Jack Troy, Jon Reiter, Jonathan Gur Itzhaki, Jordan Tiffany, JT Ewing, Noah Mudadu, Remi Fabiani, Seth Crow, and Trevor Boodt in Tempe this fall.

Put Jag in Hebie’s sprint program and add college weights & competition into the equation – Jag will be an 18-second flat start in no time. And a :42 100.
I hope he is well-motivated after making the choice to pursue swimming. Good luck and enjoy your college swimming experience, Jag. All the best. ‘
His :22.68 LCM(conv. to :19.72 SCY) / :19.95 / :19.15R 50 times are certainly enticing for most college teams.
But his PBs stand 12th on the ASU active roster for both the 50 and the 100 (:44.31).
It will also be interesting to see how well Trevor Boodt adapts. This Colorado breaststroker’s PBs (:55.03 / 1:59.46) are both from a Sectional in Austin in March, 2023, nearly 2 1/2 years ago. These PBs are 6th and 5th on the career PB list for the Sun Devils this fall.
It seems like half of all the recruits SwimSwam reports are headed to Arizona State this fall. They’ve got to be getting close to the roster limit by now, right?
I think they had less than what the limit is but also I think some people got the boot over the summer.
They’ve got exactly 30 listed right now. Two things to remember:
1) They lost a ton when Bowman left (they had 27 last season, 40 the year they won the title)
2) As a non SEC school, they get 8 more than programs like Florida and Texas do.
I count 31, not including Zwaschka:

ASU’s gonna make some noise this year. Good for Herbie and the team
