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.
Hamilton Aquatics Dubai’s Hussein Shawky has committed to Texas A&M University, joining the Aggie men’s 2026 recruiting class.
It is with great excitement that I announce my commitment to pursue my academic and athletic career at Texas A&M University. I am forever grateful to my family, my coaches and teammates at Hamilton Aquatics and for Abu Dhabi Aquatics Club for their steadfast support throughout my athletic journey. Special appreciation to Coaches Blaire, Duncan, and Wes for offering me this incredible opportunity to become part of the Aggie family! Proud and excited for all that lies ahead. Gig ’Em!
Shawky hails from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. In April, Shawky notched a number of long-course best times at the Dubai International Aquatics Championships. He earned first place finishes in the 50 free (23.06) and 100 fly (55.15). He also touched 2nd overall in the 200 free (1:53.26), and 3rd in the 100 free (50.74), setting best times in all of those events.
In August, Shawky bested that 50 free best at the Arab Aquatics Championships (LCM), clocking 22.88, earning him an event victory. At those same championships, he turned in his fastest ever 50 fly, winning the event in 24.62.
Shawky also boasts impressive SCM times of 22,33 in the 50 free, 49,29 in the 100 free, and 54.69 in the 100 fly, all of which came from the 28th Speedo Invitational Short Course Meet in December.
In October, Shawky made history by becoming the first athlete to ever win a gold medal for his home country’s swim team after winning the 50 fly at the Asian Youth Games in 24.73, setting anew Asian Youth Games record in the process.

Best Times Converted to SCY:
Event Time SCY Conversion 50 Free (LCM) 22.88 19.89 100 Free (LCM) 49.29 42.96 200 Free (LCM) 1:53.26 1:39.15 100 Fly (LCM) 55.15 48.42The Texas A&M men finished 5th at last season’s SEC Swimming and Diving Championships.
Based on Shawky’s converted times, he would have been projected to finish 28th in the 50 free 41st in the 50 free, and 47th in the 100 fly.
Shawky has not recorded yards times yet, but his conversions have given him a really promising baseline of times to begin a college career.
This Texas A&M team boasts a lot of speed, with seven swimmers already notching sub-20 50 free times this season. The 100 free is a bit more scarce, with only three swimmers having clocked a time under 44 seconds.
A big question for Shawky will likely be that 3rd event. His current skill set appears to limit him to the 200 free and 100 fly (as the 50 and 100 free seem like shoe-ins).
Texas A&M has had six swimmers this season swim sub 48.2 in the 100 fly, and Shawky’s converted 200 free time would only rank 8th.
The pure sprint free speed seems like enough immediate upside to be okay with moving forward with the project of finding that 3rd event.
Shawky joins Lucas Ackermann, Clark Coyle, Gideon Swan, and Wyatt Vitiello in the Aggie men’s 2026 recruiting class.
