Iceland Junior Teamer Alexandra Tomasdottir Commits to Northern State

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.

Alexandra Tomasdottir from Akureyri, Iceland has committed to swim for Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota beginning in the 2021-22 school year.

“I am very thrilled to announce that I have signed a commitment to Northern State University and can´t wait for the exciting times ahead! I would never have gotten this great chance without my supportive family, friends, and my amazing coaches that raised me and helped me become the person I am today. I also want to thank American College Connection for helping me with this journey and given me this great opportunity! Go Wolves!”

Tomasdottir specializes in free, fly, and IM. She represented the Icelandic Junior International Team in Prague in June 2019, where she placed 3rd in the 50m fly. In 2015, she won the 400m IM at the Icelandic Junior National Championships. Two years later, she came in 3rd in the 200 IM at the SCM Icelandic Championships. In 2018, she was 3rd in the 100 IM at Short Course Nationals.

Tomasdottir had to take six months off in 2019 to recuperate after a major surgery, but she was back in the pool at the beginning of 2020 and has notched a couple of PBs since then. Most recently, Tomasdottir competed at 2021 Icelandic National Championships in the 50 free, 50/100 back, and 50/100 fly.
