David is a swimmer from the United States, a distance freestyler and a collegiate competitor, whose official competitive record spans 10 seasons, 12 years, 6 countries and 58 meets.
His recorded career begins in 2014 in NT LAC Level 2 Div 2, where he raced the 50 butterfly in 28.64.
His signature event is the 400 individual medley, the event he has raced the most, followed by the 1500 freestyle and 800 freestyle. Individual medley is where his specialisation lies (25 meets), while freestyle appears in more meets (49 meets and 98 recorded swims spread across 9 different distances) because he races it across the full distance range rather than as a main event.
His fastest 400 individual medley stands at 4:12.51, set in long course (50 m) at 21st World Aquatics Championships, Doha, QAT.
He has raced at the Olympic Games level, in 2024 (Olympic Games Paris 2024 and Olympic Games, La Defense Arena, FRA). A representative mark at that level is 15:10.64 in the 1500 freestyle, recorded in long course (50 m). He also appears in world, national and collegiate championships.
After a 3-year break between 2015 and 2018, he came back to racing and the record picks up again in 2018. 2025 is the busiest season on record, with 46 verified individual swims.
He is a genuinely international swimmer: the official record spans 6 countries (the United States, UNK, Australia, France, Japan and Singapore), including 14 of 58 meets outside the United States.
Those meets span 19 different venues (Austin, Indianapolis, Irvine and Doha…). He has raced for 8 clubs, led by University of Texas, Rockwall Aquatic Center of Excellence, Lakeside Aquatic Club (TX) and Longhorn Aquatics.
Latest competition: Alabama vs. Texas in Tuscaloosa, on October 10, 2025, with 2 swims: 4:14.08 in the 500 freestyle and 8:43.95 in the 1000 freestyle, all in short course yards (25 yd). He closes this record with 38 current event personal bests and 63 all-time PB improvements, across 157 verified official swims in competitions governed by World Aquatics and NCAA.
