ASU Adds Canadian Breaststroker Pilar McCann to Incoming Class

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.

Canadian Pilar McCann of Edmonton Keyano Swim Club in Edmonton will join the Arizona State class of 2024 this fall.

I’m so excited to announce my verbal commitment to Arizona State University. It’s always been a dream of mine to swim at Arizona State. Thank you to my friends, coaches, and family for all the support. Go Sun Devils❤️💛

TOP TIMES (LCM/SCY conv.)

  • 50 breast – 32.61 / 28.47
  • 100 breast – 1:10.96 / 1:02.12
  • 200 breast – 2:37.00 / 2:17.83

A breaststroker, McCann excels more in the sprint breast events. At the 2019 Canadian Junior Championships during the summer, McCann placed second in the 100 breast and took fifth in the 200 breast. In April of 2019, at the Canadian Worlds Trials, McCann put together a 10th place finish in the 50 breast and a 17th place finish in the 100 breast.

The Sun Devils just lost Silja Kansakoski, a 2018 NCAA 100 breast A-finalist, to graduation. ASU’s top returner is Nora Deleske, a rising senior, who was 1:01.38/2:11.57 in the breast events last year.

McCann would’ve made C-finals in both breaststrokes at the 2020 Pac-12 Championships.

McCann will join the Sun Devils this fall alongside Erin Milligan, Marte Lovberg and Elli Straume.
