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.
Pleasanton Seahawks’ Rostik Khilko has verbally committed to Duke University as a part of the Blue Devil men’s 2027 recruiting class.
I am incredibly blessed and excited to announce that I will be continuing my athletic and academic career at Duke University! GO BLUE DEVILS
Khilko raced at the Speedo Junior National Championships this past summer, where he swam a pair of lifetime best long course times. He clocked 29.30 in the 50 breaststroke and 2:22.73 in the 200 breast, placing 37th and 67th, respectively. Khilko also finished 80th in the 100 breast in 1:05.30.
Khilko hails from San Ramon, Calif., where he represents California High School San Ramon. As a high school sophomore, Khilko finished 17th overall at the CIF State Championships in May in the 100 breast in 56.19. The swim was just over a second slower than his best time from a week earlier in 55.10.
Along with his sprint breaststroke skill, Khilko holds a 200 breast best of 2:00.32 from the Pacific Swimming SCY Senior post NCS meet in May, as well as a 200 IM best of 1:56.10 from the Pacific Swimming Far Western Championships in April.
Best Times SCY:
100 Breast: 55.10 200 Breast: 2:00.32 200 IM: 1:56.10 200 Free: 1:48.66The Blue Devil men finished 12th at the 2025 ACC Swimming and Diving Championships last season.
Based on Khilko’s best times, he would have finished 42nd in the 100 breast, 40th in the 200 breast, and 57th in the 200 IM.
As only a high school junior, Khilko is a very intriguing talent, with plenty of room still to improve before his debut for Duke.
Khilko has only swum under the 56-second barrier four times in his career, all four of which came in the span of a month and a half. He is already knocking on the door of breaking into the 54s and has some potential to even dip under that by this time next year when he is a senior.
There is not much of a question on what his primary event focus will be, but if Khilko wants to bring in points outside of the breaststroke events for a hungry Duke team, he will need to make significant strides in the 200 IM.
Khilko will join Jonathan Packles in Duke’s 2027 recruiting class.
