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.
Luc Dionne from Bethesda, Maryland has announced his commitment to continue his academic and athletic careers at Virginia beginning in fall 2027.
“I’m very excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my athletic and academic career at the University Of Virginia. Huge thank you to my family, teammates, friends, and coaches from NCAP and UVA for helping achieve this new opportunity. GO HOOS!”
Dionne competes for Nations Capital Swim Club (NCAP) and competed at US Summer Nationals back in June. There he was 28th in the 200 breast in a 2:17.19. He also time trialed the 100 breast in a 1:05.00.
He finished his long course season at Greensboro Futures. There he posted numerous lifetime bests including a 2:14.87 in the 200 breast for 3rd. He also swam a lifetime best 1:03.55 100 breast and a 4:30.85 in the 400 IM. He will look to continue his momentum into the short course season and begins his junior year at Walter Johnson High School.
Dionne’s Best SCY Times Are:
- 100 breast: 55.37
- 200 breast: 1:59.66
- 200 IM: 1:50.00
- 400 IM: 3:56.69
The Virginia men finished 8th out of 15 teams at the 2025 ACC Championships and went on to finish 33rd at the 2025 NCAA Championships. The team notably welcomed the #1 ranked recruiting class this fall, headlined by #1 Thomas Heilman and #2 Maximus Williamson.
Dionne still has two years until his arrival. It took a 53.12 in the 100 breast and a 1:55.80 in the 200 breast to earn a second swim at 2025 ACCs. Virginia scored 0 points at ACCs in the 100 breast. The 1650 free was the only other swimming event that the program had no points in.
Dionne will arrive in fall 2027 as a member of the class of 2031. He is the first public announcement on the men’s side.
