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.
Kate Guenther, who hails from Charlotte, North Carolina, has announced her intention to swim and study at Duke University beginning in 2027-28. She wrote on social media:
“I am excited and humbled to announce my verbal commitment to Duke University! I want to thank the coaches on ATOM, my family, and the Duke Coaching staff! GO BLUE DEVILS”
A junior at Myers Park High School, Guenther swims year-round with Aquatic Team Of Mecklenburg and is one of our “Honorable Mention” swimmers on our Way Too Early list of top girls’ recruits in the high school class of 2027. She is highly versatile, with Summer Juniors cuts in the 50/100/200/500/800/1650 free, 200 back, 100/200 fly, and 200/400 IM.
In high school swimming, she placed 4th in the 200 free (1:49.51) and 3rd in the 500 free (4:52.04), earning a PB in the latter, at the 2025 NCHSAA 4A State Championships. Not quite a month later, at Speedo Southern Premier, she updated her PBs in the 100 free (50.55), 100 back (56.48), 200 back (1:58.11), 100 fly (55.17), 200 fly (2:01.97), 200 IM (2:03.00), and 400 IM (4:15.63) while finishing in the top 8 of the 1650 free, 200 back, 100/200 fly, and 200/400 IM. Three weeks later, competing at the ATOM BRSL Championships, she lowered her 100 free (49.87), 100 back (55.56), and 200 IM (2:01.22) times and added a new PB in the 100 breast (1:04.79).
Guenther had a strong showing in long-course season as well, wrapping up at NCSA Summer Championships, where she was runner-up in the 400 free (PB of 4:19.33), 5th in the 400 IM (4:54.68), 6th in the 200 IM (PB of 2:19.18), 8th in the 100 fly (PB of 1:01.68), 9th in the 100 free (PB of 56.96), 10th in the 200 free (2:03.33), 18th in the 200 fly (2:20.10), and 19th in the 200 back (2:18.82).
She would have been Duke’s 4th-fastest 200 freestyler last year behind Tatum Wall (1:46.89), Yixuan Chang (1:47.10), and Ali Pfaff (1:47.66), which would have been helpful on the 800 free relay. She would have ranked #2 in the mile, #3 in the 200 IM and 500 free, #4 in the 200 back and 400 IM, and #5 in the 100 free and 200 fly on the Blue Devils’ roster in 2024-25.
