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.

Brentsville District High School senior Benjamin Huffman has verbally committed to swim at Boston College.

Huffman placed third in the 200 and 500 freestyle at the 2020 Virginia High School League Swimming & Diving Championships.

I am excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Boston College. I would like to thank my friends, family, and coaches for supporting me throughout the years. Go Eagles!”

Huffman, who swims club at Occoquan Swimming, recently competed at the ISCA Summer Senior Blast. He placed third in the 100-meter freestyle, fourth in the 800-meter freestyle, fifth in the 200- and 400-meter freestyle, and ninth in the 1500-meter freestyle. 

Huffman has Futures cuts in the 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 1650 freestyle. His best short course times are:

  • 100 freestyle: 46.27
  • 200 freestyle: 1:40.62
  • 500 freestyle: 4:31.66
  • 1000 freestyle: 9:32.50
  • 1650 freestyle: 16:03.05

Boston College is a Division I school and part of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). At the 2021 ACC men’s championship, Boston College placed twelfth out of 12 teams. With his best times, Huffman would have the fourth-fastest 1000 freestyle in the team’s history from 1972-2020, the seventh-fastest 500 and 1650 freestyle, and the tenth-fastest 200 freestyle.
