Futures Qualifier Dawid Turos Announces Commitment to Rider (2024)

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 they pursue with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.

Dawid Turos, a first-generation college student, announced his commitment to swim and study at Rider University. Turos graduated from Deerfield High School in Illinois last spring, where he was a varsity athlete in three different sports. He will arrive in New Jersey this fall for the 2024-2025 season.

“I couldn’t be happier to announce my commitment to continue my academic and athletic pursuits to swim at the Division 1 level at Rider University! I chose Rider for its incredibly historic swim team, supportive teammates, incredible coaching, and commitment to academic and athletic excellence. Thank you to my friends and family for their constant love and support, and to Coach Steve for your help and guidance throughout the recruiting process. Many thanks again to Coaches Fletcher and Daly for this incredible opportunity. I can’t wait to get to work! Go Broncs! »

Turos, who trains and competes year-round at the Coho Swim Club, is a freestyle sprinter with Futures cuts in the 50 and 100. He competed in the 100 and 200 at the Illinois high school state championships, where he finished 19th (46.47) and 18th (1:40.58), respectively, setting personal bests in both.

Turos has been busy in March with the Speedo Sections in Iowa City and the ISCA Senior International Cup. At the Sectionals, he qualified for the finals in all four of his individual events and ultimately recorded his best result in the 100m butterfly in 18th place (58.65). The highlight of his races at the ISCA meet was the 200 freestyle, where he clocked 1:42.07 to take 12th place in the morning session.
