As a junior, Zwaschka solidified his status as a top competitor, placing 5th in the 50 free with a stellar time of 21.22 seconds and achieving an 11th place finish in the 100 free at 48.13 seconds. But the cherry on top came during the California State Meet, where he posted an impressive 7th place in the 50 free, clocking in at a personal best of 20.64 seconds.
