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.
Speedo Sectionals qualifier Sarah Meza has announced her verbal commitment to swim and study at Southern Methodist University beginning in the fall of 2027. She publicized the news on SwimCloud, writing:
I am so excited to announce that I will have the honor of continuing my athletic and academic career at Southern Methodist University! I am so grateful to God for guiding me through this journey and opening doors I could have never opened on my own. I want to give a huge thank you to all the coaches at Texas Ford Aquatics, especially Coach John McGough, for pushing me beyond what I even thought was possible. To my family, thank you for your love, support, and for never stopping believing in me. To my teammates, thank you for being there every step of the way. You all shaped me into the athlete and person I am today. A very special thank you to Coach Ozzie Quevedo for giving me this incredible opportunity. Turning dreams into reality, and ready to chase even bigger ones with this team! Pony Up!
Meza does her year-round swimming with Texas Ford Aquatics in Frisco, where she primarily specializes in butterfly and middle-distance freestyle.
