Fitter and Faster Swim Clinics 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.
Maya Geringer of Jerome High School and United Swim Association in Lewis Center, Ohio has made her verbal commitment to swim for The Ohio State University in the fall of 2020. A distance freestyle specialist, Geringer has career-best times in the 500 and 1,650-yard freestyles that are already very close to what it took to score at the 2019 Big Ten Conference Championship meet.
“I am beyond excited to announce my commitment to The Ohio State University to continue my academic and swimming career! What set the Buckeyes apart are the great academics and alumni network that will be available to me post-graduation. As a Columbus resident, I was aware of the beautiful campus and awesome swimming facilities, but am excited to be a part of a team with a ton of resources available to me. Most importantly, I can’t wait to join the Buckeye Women’s team as everyone has been so kind and encouraging. Go Bucks!”

Best Times in Yards:
- 200 free – 1:51.65
- 500 free – 4:51.74
- 1650 free – 17:00.87
Geringer will be joining a Buckeye team that took 3rd place at the 2019 Big Ten Championship meet. Even though she will be joining in 2020, she will still be able to train with Big Ten scoring distance swimmers Nicole Fye, Natalia Jaspeado, and Georgia Mosher. She will join Katherine “KitKat” Zenick, Liberty Gilbert, Catherine Russo, Tristan Harrison, and Janessa Mathews as members of Ohio State’s class of 2024 and will be the only distance freestyle main between both her class and the class before hers.
