Ian Grum Keeps Dynamo-to-UGA Pipeline Going with Verbal to Georgia

Atlanta, Georgia’s Ian Grum has announced his verbal commitment to the University of Georgia, continuing the long tradition of Dynamo Swim Club athletes who remain in-state to swim for Jack Bauerle and his Bulldogs (e.g. Gunnar Bentz, the Litherland triplets, Cade Anderson, and the list goes on). Grum will join Zach Hils in the class of 2023.

“I am very excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Georgia. Thank you to my family and coaches for their endless support and guidance”

He was runner-up in the 500 free and placed third in the 100 back as a sophomore in 2017. In club swimming he is a NAG record-holder with the Dynamo Boys 13-14 400 Medley Relay (set in 2015). He was a finalist last summer at U.S. Open in the 200 back and 400 IM; he also competed in the 800 free and 100 back. He also swam at U.S. Nationals (800 free, 1500 free, 200 back).
