Keswick was awarded the 1995 McDonald's "Balancing It All" award. He was also awarded the 1994 Sportsperson of the Year award at the USA Gymnastics Congress. Keswick is a four-time USA Gymnastics National Champion (1989, 1990, 1991 and 1994) on rings, making him the first gymnast to ever accomplish this feat. He scored his first perfect 10.00 in international competition at the 1992 McDonald's American Cup on still rings. Keswick was the highest finisher for men (10th) and qualified for two event finals at the 1991 World Championships-the best finish for the U.S. men since the 1983 World Championships. He topped his 1991 World Championships performance at the 1993 World Championships, placing ninth all-around and making two event finals. Again in 1994, Keswick was the highest U.S. male all-around finisher (13th) at the World Championships. He was named the recipient of the 1992 Nissen Award-an award honoring the top male collegiate gymnast in the nation.
