UCSB Lands 48.1 Butterflier Justin Wong for Fall 2021

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.

Justin Wong of North Bay Aquatics in San Francisco has committed to UCSB for this coming fall.

I’m stoked to announce my commitment to swim and study at UCSB! I’m grateful for this opportunity and for everyone who has helped me along the way. Go Gauchos!

  • 50 free – 20.77
  • 100 free – 44.86
  • 200 free – 1:40.28
  • 100 fly – 48.19
  • 200 fly – 1:51.14
  • 200 IM – 1:52.84

Wong has made significant improvements since the pandemic hit, going from 21.4/46.1/1:41.2 in the sprint free events to his current bests, while he has also gone from 49.4 to 48.1 in the 100 fly. His current bests in those four events all came from the St. George Sectional Championships just a few weeks ago.

This past season, Wong would’ve been the fastest 100 butterflier on the UCSB roster, while he would’ve ranked third in the 100 free. At the 2021 MPSF Championships, Wong would’ve finished runner-up in the 100 fly with his current best, so this is a big get for the Gauchos.

Wong joins Austin Sparrow, Jude DiStefanoMatthew Driscoll and Kyle Brill in UCSB’s impressive incoming class.
