Fitter and Faster Swim Clinics 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.

Kaden Smesko from Walsh Jesuit High School in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio has announced his verbal commitment to the University of Notre Dame for 2020-21. He will join Joe Hunt, Liam Smith, Luke Uttley, Ollie Bernasek, and Sean Faikish in the class of 2024. Smesko swims for Firestone Akron Swim Team.

“I am extremely excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim for the University of Notre Dame ! I would like to thank my family, coaches, teammates, and friends for their continuous support. I can’t wait to be a part of the Notre Dame family! Go Irish ☘️☘️☘️”

Smesko specializes in back, free, and IM. He recently placed 11th in the 100 back at Winter Juniors East; he also swam the 200 back and finished 31st in prelims.
