Since the pandemic hit, Dirkzwager has dropped nearly a full second in the 100 free, and she’s also improved in the 200 back.
Georgia Tech’s mid-distance group was led by sophomore Brooke Switzer this past season. Switzer had a breakout year, jumping from the 200 free ACC C-final in 2020 to the A-final in 2021, hitting lifetime bests in freestyle of 49.40/1:45.62/4:45.74. She also swam at her first NCAAs after qualifying in the 200 free.
