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.
High school junior Evan Gluck from Rockwall, Texas, has announced his verbal commitment to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for 2026-27.
“I am honored and humbled to announce my commitment to UNC. Thank you to Coach Mark and Coach Jack for this incredible opportunity as well as my family and Coach Dan for their support. Go Heels!”
Gluck’s parents swam (father) and dove (mother) at LSU; his older brother Ethan Gluck was on the men’s swimming and diving squad as a freshman at Navy in 2023-24.
Gluck attends iUniversity Prep, an online school run out of the Grapevine-Colleyville ISD. He swims year-round with the City of Richardson Swim Team, where he specializes in distance freestyle. At the recent NCSA Spring Championships, Gluck earned new lifetime bests in the 500 free (4:28.08), 1000 free (9:05.22), and 200 fly (1:52.39). He was runner-up in the 1000 free, 3rd in the 1650, and 12th in the 500.
In December, he had an outstanding showing at the COR Classic, winning the 500/1000/1650 free and 400 IM and improving his times in the 200/500/1000/1650 free, 200 breast, 100 fly, and 200/400 IM.
Similarly, last summer at NCSAs, he went best times in all his events, winning the mile (15:35.30), and finishing 6th in the 800 (8:12.42), 10th in the 400 free (4:01.75), 11th in the 400 IM (4:30.86), and 28th in the 200 fly (2:08.16). His 1500 time would have qualified for the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials had he swum it six weeks earlier.
Gluck is a U.S. Nationals qualifier in the 1500 and 800 free and a U.S. Open qualifier in the 400 free and 400 IM. His best SCY times include:
- 1650 free – 15:09.41
- 1000 free – 9:05.22
- 500 free – 4:28.08
- 400 IM – 3:58.99
- 200 fly – 1:52.39
- 200 free – 1:43.73
