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.
Woodberry Forest Swimming sprinter Jack Stelter has verbally committed to the University of Tennessee in their class of 2025. Stelter, a ’20 high school graduate, was initially committed to Towson University in Maryland but has since opted to take a gap year and change his commitment to the Vols.
I am beyond excited to announce my commitment to Swim at the University of Tennessee. I am very thankful for my coaches, teammates, and family for supporting me and pushing me along the way. Go Vols!!

Stelter is the reigning Virginia Independent School champion in the 100 free (45.57) and 200 free (1:39.69/1:39.17 in prelims). He also led off Woodberry Forest School’s winning 400 free relay (46.02) and anchored their 200 medley relay (20.48).
He’s made serious drops from 2019 to 2020; last year, he was 48.06 in the 100 free, 1:42.35 in the 200 free and 4:45.05 in the 500.
Stelter would’ve been Tennessee’s #4 500 freestyler and #6 200 freestyler last season. Top sprinter Alec Connolly and top distance specialists Marc Hinawi and Taylor Abbott all just graduated, leaving a gap in Tennessee’s roster they need to rebuild.
Stelter joins Gus Rothrock and Griffin Hadley, both from Carmel Swim Club, in Tennessee’s class of 2025.

Wow, big drops. Look real tall too. I’ll be interested to see how he progresses.
Welcome to Rocky Top! Tenn, NCSU, and UVA all quickly rising!
I wouldn’t put the Tenn men in the same group as NCSU or UVA.
Didn’t Tennessee men beat UVA twice last year?
How many NCAA TEAM titles does UT have? 1… How many do NCSU and UVA have total?? ZERO. Which men’s team has more Olympic gold medalists – uhhh UT? Yea UVA is 0/2 last two outings against UT and unless I am mistaken NCSU has never beaten UT in dual meet though they have competed a few times. I agree that Tenn MEN are different than UVA and NCSU…All three schools are great academically and have outstanding coaches and athletes.
I was including the women’s programs in my train of thought. Think Tenn women are actually a little further along than the men, but two big pickups this week should build some momentum.
Yeah they beat them in season but I don’t have a doubt in my mind that both NCSU and UVA would’ve beat Tenn at NCAAs.
On a roll now UT – Oh yes. Great get for the MEN VOLS! Wow glad to see excellent swimmers making the best choice for education and swimming! Wear that coonskin with PRIDE.
