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.
Junior Nationals qualifier Sadie Davidoff has announced her verbal commitment to stay in-state and compete for Fordham University beginning in the fall of 2027. She publicized the news on SwimCloud, writing:
I am SO grateful and excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Fordham University! I’d like to thank my family, friends, coaches, and teammates for supporting me along this journey. A special thanks to Coach Tom and Coach Stuart for this amazing opportunity! GO RAMS!
A junior at Sacred Heat Academy in Hempstead, NY, Davidoff has been a member of her school’s varsity swimming and diving team since her freshman year. She also trains year-round with Long Island Aquatic Club, where she primarily specializes in distance freestyle.
Davidoff most recently competed at the National Club Swimming Association (NCSA) Spring Championships in March, where she clocked her current best times in the distance events. She placed 13th in both the 1000 free (10:02.75) and 1650 free (16:53.93), as well as 29th in the 500 free (4:55.56).
Earlier in the season, Davidoff competed at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) State Championships, where she had her best-ever placements at the meet. She made the ‘A’ final of the 500 free, touching in a then-best time of 4:57.86, and touched 17th in the 200 free (1:55.92), a bit off her best time of 1:54.17 she set at a smaller Intersectional meet a few weeks beforehand.
Top SCY Times:
- 200 Freestyle: 1:54.17
- 500 Freestyle: 4:55.56
- 1650 Freestyle: 16:53.93
A Division I mid-major program, Fordham competes in the Atlantic 10 Conference, with the women’s team placing fifth out of 10 teams at this past season’s conference championships.
Based on the results from the meet, Davidoff’s current lifetime bests would have placed fifth in the 1650 free and sixth in the 500 free, setting her up to be an immediate points contributor. Meanwhile, it took a time of 1:52.37 to make the ‘B’ final of the 200 free, putting her just under two seconds shy of the cutoff in that race.
Davidoff is the first publicized commit in the Rams’ class of 2030, with 23.4/51.4/1:51.6 sprint freestyler Katherine Kennedy the only publicized recruit for 2029.
