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.
Hunter Dean, a current high school senior from Upper Arlington, Ohio, has committed to swim for Division III Catholic University in Washington D.C. Dean will graduate from Upper Arlington High School in spring 2020 and join the Cardinals’ class of 2024.
Dean is a current year-round swimmer for the Upper Arlington Swim Club along with swimming for his high school team. Earlier this year at the Central District Sectionals—Upper Arlington Boys, Dean placed 2nd in both the 500 freestyle (4:49.30) and 100 butterfly (53.05).
“I chose Catholic because they have a strong political science degree, a great swim program and it’s in city I love! Go Cards!”
Dean will make an immediate impact on the team once he arrives in Washington D.C. this fall.
This year at the 2020 Landmark Conference Swimming and Diving Championships with the Cardinals, Dean would have had multiple finals performances with his current best times.
Most notably, he would have been conference champion in the 500 freestyle (4:39.20) and would have placed 2nd in the 1650 freestyle (16:37.59) behind future teammate Ren Prescott (16:24.36).
