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.
Caroline Weldon from Denville, New Jersey has made a verbal commitment to the University of Richmond women’s swimming and diving team’s class of 2026.
“I am so excited and honored to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Richmond! I would like to thank my family, friends, coaches, and teammates for helping me along the way. I am so excited to join the team in 2022!! Go Spiders!!”
