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.
Jadeon Carter from Lincoln, Nebraska, has flipped his commitment and will now stay in-state as he has committed to Nebraska-Omaha. Carter originally committed to Missouri in August 2024.
Carter just finished his senior year at Lincoln East High School and does his club swimming with Lincoln Select.
This past spring, Carter swam to a Nebraska High School state title in the 500 freestyle. He swam to a season best 4:39.09 but was faster in prelims with a 4:36.66. He finished 2nd in the 200 free in a season best of a 1:41.45.
In March, Carter swam to numerous lifetime bests at Sectionals in Columbia, Missouri. There he swam a 1:49.61 200 back for 15th as well as a 4:05.92 in the 400 IM for 21st. He also notched a personal best of a 51.96 in the 100 back.
Carter’s best SCY times are:
- 200 free: 1:41.20
- 500 free: 4:34.01
- 100 back: 51.96
- 200 back: 1:49.61
The Nebraska-Omaha men finished 4th out of seven teams at the 2025 Summit League Championships. They scored 507.5 points finishing just behind 3rd place South Dakota State that scored 544 points. Owen Hoak led the way for Omaha with 29.5 individual points including 4th place finishes in the 50 and 100 freestyles.
Based on his best times, Carter would have made the conference ‘B’ final in the 200 back and finished 12th overall. It took a 1:48.53 to make the 200 back ‘A’ final. His 200 free also would have made the conference ‘B’ final.
Carter will arrive this fall as a member of the class of 2029 along with Brady Wainionpaa (breaststroker), Mason Zadina (fly/sprint free), and Carson Agnew (breaststroker).

I’m thinking the in-state tuition rates probably had something to do with the decision. If he’s planning to major in anything stem related UNO is an excellent school. Hopefully UNO has some fast kids that can push Jaden in practice. It’s hard to get faster as a distance swimmer when you’re the fastest kid on the team by a large margin.
He would’ve been fourth in the 200 free and second in the 500 last season, along with third or so in the 100 and 200 back. Fits right in.
More than likely there is not a spot anymore these are not really flips – there is no space on the roster.
Why commit to Missouri in the first place? He would’ve been 6th-8th on the team in his best events last season. Nebraska-Omaha seems like a much better place.
