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.

Kayden Lancaster and Aidan Paro, who are both in the class of 2023 at Bolles School in Jacksonville, Florida, and swim club with the Bolles School Sharks, have announced their respective verbal commitments to the University of Louisville.

Kayden Lancaster

“I am really excited and humbled to announce that I will be continuing my athletic and academic career at the University of Louisville. I’d like to thank God for giving me all my abilities and blessing me. I am very grateful for my family, all of my coaches, and teammates for supporting me throughout this journey. Go Cards!!!”

Lancaster moved to Bolles School from Carmel High School just this fall. Named to the “Best of the Rest” section of our Way Too Early list of top boys recruits from the high school class of 2023, he specializes in freestyle and at the 2021 Indiana Boys High School State Championships last February, he placed sixth in the 200 free (1:38.25) and fifth in the 500 free (4:32.43). This fall, he notched PBs in both events, swimming for Bolles at the Florida Class 1A State Championships. There, he finished 4th in the 200 free (1:37.58) and was runner-up in the 500 free (4:27.28). At Speedo Winter Juniors-East, Lancaster competed in the 100/200 free, 200 fly, and 200 IM and improved his lifetime bests in all but the 200 free.
