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.
Izabella Bartling, a 3x Colorado High School State qualifier, will attend the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK) in the fall, following the footsteps of several family members.
Bartling told SwimSwam:
“After meeting Coach Trelka & the Aqua Lopers my decision to join the team was easy. They were all very nice & welcoming. My grandparents, Ed & Eve Scantling, worked at UNK so I grew up visiting Kearney. My grandmother, mother & aunt are all alumni. I am excited to continue my academic & athletic careers at UNK!”
Bartling attended Wellington High School, where she helped build the brand-new joint swim team between Wellington and Timnath High School for three years. She also competed for the Fort Collins Area Swim Team in club swimming over the summer of 2024.
The UNK commit capped off her high school career at the CHSAA Girls 3A State Championship Meet. There, Bartling led off both the 200 freestyle and 200 medley relays, hitting new 50 free and 50 back personal bests of 29.57 and 35.75 in the process. Having only begun swimming in high school, Bartling has the opportunity to improve in the pool for four years alongside her Lopers teammates while walking the same halls that several family members did.
Bartling’s Best SCY Times:
- 100 free – 1:04.60*
- 50 free – 29.57
- 200 free – 2:25.31*

Isabella has an opportunity to become a good swimmer with patience, by learning how to handle more intense and longer workouts, and more frequently. Many less experienced have taken advantage of the opportunity and thrived. I wish her well. It’s time to change mental gears.
