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.
Kendal Chunn from Mount Pleasant, South Carolina has announced her verbal commitment to Georgia Tech for 2022-23.
“I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to further my swimming and academic career at Georgia Tech!! I loved getting to meet the coaching staff and the team. I’d like to thank my friends, family and my coaches for helping make it to this point. Go Jackets!! 🐝 🐝 #TogetherWeSwarm”
Chunn is a junior at Oceanside Collegiate Academy. She has won six state individual high school championships in three years of high school swimming. A month ago, she won the 200 IM by 7.5 seconds (2:04.12) and the 100 back by 1.6 seconds (57.17) at the 2020 SCHSL 3A Girls Championships. She also swam on the winning 200 medley relay (27.05 backstroke leadoff) and first-place 400 free relay (53.75), contributing the maximum number of points possible to the winning team effort.
In club swimming, Chunn represents South Carolina Swim Club and is a Summer Juniors qualifier in the 200 IM and a Futures qualifier in the 100 back, 100 breast, and 200 breast. She had a strong showing at 2020 Cary Sectionals last March, turning in lifetime bests in the SCY 100 breast and 400 IM and the LCM 100/200 breast and 200/400 IM. She finished 18th in the 100m breast, 21st in the 200m breast, 3rd in the 200m IM, and 4th in the 400m IM. In February, she was a top-8 finisher at the South Carolina LSC Senior State Championships in the 100/200 back, 200 breast, and 400 IM.
