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.
Lucy Reber, a junior at Hudson High School in Hudson, Ohio, has verbally committed to the University of Kentucky for 2022-23 and beyond.
