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.
Winter Juniors qualifier Stanton Zwygart has announced his commitment to swim at Southern Methodist University beginning in the fall of 2026. He publicized the news on SwimCloud, writing:
I am grateful to announce my commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Southern Methodist University. First and foremost I want to thank God for the abilities and opportunity that He has given me, as well as the people that He has put in my life. I would like to thank my family, friends, teammates, coaches Mike, Will, Allen, Zac, and especially Caleb for the past ten years of guidance, and the SMU coaching staff and team for giving me this amazing opportunity. Go Mustangs!!
A senior at Whitfield Academy in Georgia, Zwygart competed for his school’s varsity swimming and diving team all four years. He currently trains year-round with SwimAtlanta, where he primarily specializes in sprint butterfly and freestyle.
Zwygart recently wrapped up a breakout 2025-26 short course season that saw him drop nearly two seconds in the 100 fly, almost a second and a half in the 100 free, and exactly seven tenths in the 50 free.
Zwygart posted his first batch of PBs at the Georgia Senior State meet in December. He swept the sprint fly events, clocking times of 22.44 and 49.03, in addition to taking 17th in the 100 free (47.03), 19th in the 50 free (21.52), and helping four SwimAtlanta relays finish in the top eight. A week later, he competed at Winter Juniors – East, his first time qualifying for the meet, where he placed 37th in the 100 fly with an even faster 48.57.
At the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) State Championships in March, Zwygart won his first-ever individual high school state title. He touched first in the 100 fly (48.41), second in the 50 free (21.25), and helped Whitfield finish third in the 400 free relay (46.88 leadoff) and fifth in the 200 medley relay (21.46 fly split).
Zwygart ended the season at Greater Atlanta Divisionals, further improving on his bests in the 50 free and 100 fly. He finished runner-up in both races with times of 21.22 and 47.91.
Top SCY Times:
50 Freestyle: 21.22 100 Freestyle: 46.62 100 Butterfly: 47.91A Division I program, SMU competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference, with the men’s team finishing 10th out of 15 teams at this past season’s conference championships.
To earn a second swim at the ACC Championships, it took times of 19.46/42.67 in the 50/100 free and 46.43 in the 100 fly, putting Zwygart outside the cutoff in each of his top events. Still, his addition provides developmental depth for an SMU sprint group that had no scorers in the 50 free or 100 fly this past season and is set to graduate one of its two 100 free ‘C’ finalists. Based on his current best times, he projecst to rank eighth in the 100 fly and 16th in both sprint freestyle events next season.
Zwygart joins Ethan Hammontree (back/IM), Mark Heffern (fly/IM), Danny Park (middle-distance free) , Braden Guzman (breast/IM), Spencer Kinsey (breast/IM), Josh Heydt (sprint free/back/fly) in committing to the Mustangs’ class of 2030.
