Fast-Improving Bryce Halterman Sends Verbal to University of Michigan

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.

Bryce Halterman from Ridgecrest, CA, and Paseo Aquatics Club has committed to swim at the University of Michigan as a member of the class of 2026. Halterman is a sprint freestyle and butterfly specialist who has shown massive improvement over the past two seasons in his primary events, particularly the 100 yard butterfly.

*Halterman registered a time of 48.71 in the 100-yard freestyle at age 14 in 2018 but did not improve upon that time until age 17 at the 2021 Speedo West Winter Junior Championships.

At the 2021 Speedo Winter Junior Championships – West in Austin, Texas, last December, Halterman posted massive time drops in his three primary events, the 50 and 100 freestyle, and the 100 butterfly. He cut 1.54 seconds from his 50-yard freestyle, 2.99 seconds from his 100 butterfly, and a whopping 4.10 from his 100-yard freestyle.

Halterman’s 46.96 in the 100 butterfly also qualifies him to race at the 2022 USA Swimming Summer National Championships. Halterman’s short course yards time indicate he is due for a substantial time drop in the long course version of the event, where his time rests at a 57.18.

Halterman’s best time in the 100 butterfly would have snuck him into the ‘C’ final of the 2022 Men’s Big 10 Championships, while his 50 and 100-yard freestyle PBs would have put him just outside of getting an evening swim.

He will join Logan Zucker, Matthew Kroll, Jack Luken, Kevin Maas, Lucas Hodgson, Ozan Kalafat, and Tyler Ray in the Wolverines’ class of 2026 next fall.
