Cal Baptist Snags 54.1/1:59 Breaststroker Jon Reiter of Aulea Swim Club (2021)

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.

Aulea Swim Club’s Jon Reiter is the latest verbal commitment to Cal Baptist for fall 2021. He’s a senior at Iolani School in Honolulu, Hawaii.

I’m super stoked to announce my verbal commitment to study and swim at Cal Baptist University! I couldn’t have accomplished this without the support of my family, friends, teammates, and coaches! Beyond psyched to become a Lancer! #Lanceup ⚡️💙

TOP TIMES (SCY)

  • 100 breast – 54.18
  • 200 breast – 1:59.40
  • 200 IM – 1:52.50
  • 400 IM – 4:09.20

Reiter is a strong breaststroker, and he recently dropped from 55.7/2:01.8 to his current bests at the virtual Winter Junior Championships last month. He also recorded lifetime bests in both IMs and the 100 free (47.70) at the meet.

In long course, he reached lifetime bests at Winter Juniors in the 100m free (55.99) and 100m breast (1:04.18), and at the Irvine site for the virtual U.S. Open in November, he hit a best in the 200m breast (2:21.17).

Competing for Iolani at the 2020 Hawaii HS State Championships, Reiter won the 200 IM (1:53.16) and snagged second in the 100 breast (56.94), while adding a 25.24 breast split on Iolani’s runner-up 200 medley relay.

Last season, Reiter would’ve been Cal Baptist’s top 100 breaststroker by a half-second, and he would’ve been their #2 200 breaststroker. At the 2020 WAC Championships, Reiter would’ve been the 100 breast runner-up and he would’ve taken fourth in the 200 breast, making him an incredibly valuable get for the Lancers, who were fifth at the meet.

54.1 100 breast and going to CBU? Why not Texas or Berkeley?

Yo, there’s more to school than just swimming, cal baptist is an incredible school and is getting faster and faster each year. He wants to star a trend of top recruits going to cal baptist. They’ve got 1:46-1:47 200Imers and 3:47 400 IMers… he wants to start a legacy and eventually more recruits like him will be going to cbu because of the nice campus, solid swim program and stellar athletics.

CBU is a Christian institution, he might be part of the same book club
