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.

Joe Schaefer, who hails from Annandale, Virginia, has announced his intention to swim for West Virginia University beginning in the fall of 2020.

“Incredibly excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim for West Virginia University! Thank you to my friends, family, coaches, and teammates who helped me get here. Can’t wait to be a mountaineer! #HailWV”
