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.
Versatile swimmer Isaac Snaza has announced his commitment to stay in-state and join Macalester College’s Division III swimming program this fall. Snaza currently trains with the Piranhas Swim Club and attended Lakeville North High School.
Snaza shows strength in mid-distance free and fly events. In late February, he was a finalist at the 2025 MSHSL Boys Section 1AA Championships (SCY), placing 6th in both the 200 free (1:50.22) and 100 fly (56.09). His prelims time of 55.83 in the 100 fly and his 200 free finals time remain his lifetime bests.
Snaza also specializes in the individual medley. The following month, he posted his best 400 IM time of 4:25.03 during prelims at the Minnesota Senior Short Course Championships, where he placed 16th in the finals (4:25.17). To add to that, he had his best 500 free performance (5:02.40), set during prelims.
Earlier in March, Snaza recorded his fastest 200 IM time of 2:05.32 at the MN STRM Minnesota Regional Championship (SCY), placing 2nd in the 17-and-over age group. He competed in the 100 free (53.25), 500 free (5:11.04), 100 fly (56.52), and 400 IM (4:28.13) as well.

Macalester placed 4th at the 2025 Men’s Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships, improving from 5th place the year before. Snaza’s 400 IM time would have been the second fastest on the team last season. His 500 free, 100 fly, and 200 IM times have the potential to strengthen Macalester’s lineup.
The fastest 400 IM time for the team last season (4:11.29) was posted by sophomore Tommy Moore. Freshman Kean Pajarillaga held the top 500 free time at 4:46.20. Moore also led the team in the 100 fly (51.05) and 200 IM (1:55.25).
Snaza will join fellow recruits Jamie Soutter, Spencer Laga, Eddie Barnes, and Mason Saunders on campus this fall. Saunders has a strong 500 free time of 4:58.23. Barnes holds times of 4:47.26 in the 500 free and 53.11 in the 100 fly, while Soutter has recorded a 54.17 in the 100 fly.
