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.
Alexander (Alex) Gusev, a current high school senior from Sarasota, Florida, has committed to swim for Division I Arizona State University. Gusev will graduate from Riverview High School in spring 2020 and join the Sun Devil’s class of 2024.
Gusev is a current year-round swimmer for the Sarasota YMCA Sharks along with swimming for his high school team at Riverview. This year at the Florida 4A High School State Championships, Gusev was the state champion in both the 200 IM (1:48.88) and 100 butterfly (48.62).
“I’m honored and excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim for Arizona State University! A big thank you to Coach Bowman and the incredible coaching staff at ASU for extending this opportunity to me!

And a special thank you to my family for the tremendous love and support you have given me over the years! Go Devils!☀😈🔱 #ForksUp”
