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.
Rachel Schlemmer of Potomac Falls, VA, has committed to swim for the U.S. Naval Academy this fall, adding to their growing class of 2024.
Of her commitment, Schlemmer says,
June can’t come fast enough. I can’t wait to be apart of an amazing team at the Naval Academy and continue my academic career there! GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!!⚓️♥♥
Schlemmer graduated from Dominion High School this spring. During her last season with the Titans (2019-2020), she won both the 500 free (4:59.88) and the 100 fly (56.16) at the 2020 4C Region Swimming Championships. Later at the 2020 VHSL Class 4 State Championships, she placed second in the 500 (4:57.05) and the 100 fly (56.27). Schlemmer also competed for SNOW Swimming (VA). At the 2020 Potomac Valley SC Senior Championships in March, she placed sixth in the 200 IM (2:05.80), seventh in the 500 (4:57.52), and 17th in the 200 breast with a personal best of 2:21.23. She also swam at the 2020 Potomac Valley Junior Championship that same weekend, winning the 200 back prelims with a personal best time of 2:08.29.
If Schlemmer had competed for the Navy during the 2019-2020 season, she would have been second-fastest on the D1 squad in the 1000, second-fastest in the 1650, third-fastest in the 500, and third-fastest in the 400 IM. At the Patriot League Championships, she would have placed fourth in the 1650, and sixth in the 500 and 400 IM. At the Eastern College Athletic Conference Championships, she would have won second in the 500, 1650, and 100 fly as well as third in the 400 IM.
