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.
Adrian Clement, a Winter Juniors qualifier in the 50 free, has verbally committed to swim at Pomona College as part of the Pomona-Pitzer team.
“I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim and study at Pomona College! I’d like to thank my friends, family, and coaches for all the support you’ve given me along my journey. #GoSagehens”
Clement graduated from Lincoln High School in Portland, Oregon, in 2021. While in high school, he specialized in sprint free events. At the 2020 Oregon High School Championships for Class 6A (largest schools), Clement placed 2nd in the 50 free and 9th in the 100 free.
Clement also swims club for Portland Aquatic Club. At the 2021 West Speedo Summer Championships, he placed in the top 30 in the 50m free. He also placed in the top 10 in the men’s 50m free at the 2021 USA Swimming Futures Championship in Santa Clarita.
In addition to his Winter Juniors cut, Clement has a USA Swimming Futures cut in the 200 free and 100 fly. His 50 free long course time qualifies as a Summer Juniors cut.
Best short-course yards times:
- 50 free: 20.58
- 100 free: 45.56
- 200 free: 1:41.36
- 100 fly: 50.03
Pomona-Pitzer is a Division III team and member of the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC). With his times, Clement would already rank as the fastest 50 and 100 freestyler, as well as 100 butterflier, on the team this season, and the 4th-fastest 200 freestyler. Clement is three seconds or less away from the team records in all four of those events.
Clement joins Joe Dienstag and Alanna Baker as 2022 recruits for Pomona-Pitzer.
