Episcopal Academy Senior Hadley DeBruyn Commits to Penn

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.

Hadley DeBruyn, a senior at Episcopal Academy in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, has announced her verbal commitment to the University of Pennsylvania. She’ll join Penn’s class of 2024 with Charlotte Krevitt, Ellen Holmquist, and Jillian Johnson next fall.

“I’m super excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim for the University of Pennsylvania! I chose Penn because of the unique combination of athletics and academics, and the amazing team and coaching staff. I immediately connected with Coach Schnur, and I know he is the right person to help me achieve my goals. I can’t wait to be on Penn’s beautiful campus and be a part of the vibrant community in the City of Brotherly Love. Thank you to my family, friends, and coaches who have supported me in this process! Go Quakers!”

DeBruyn is a versatile athlete who swims a variety of events. In high school swimming, she won the 500 free (4:50.81) at 2017 Eastern Interscholastic Swimming Championships as a freshman. She was also runner-up in the 200 IM (2:03.85) that year. In her sophomore season, she swam the 200 free (3rd with 1:52.54) and 100 back (2nd with 56.34). Last season it was the 500 free (4th with 4:58.03) and 200 IM (4th with 2:03.28) again.
