Wade Chandgie from Simpsonville, South Carolina has announced his commitment to continue his academic and athletic careers at Rollins College beginning in fall 2025.
“I chose Rollins for the team culture, coaching staff, beautiful location and overall academic and athletic fit. I am looking forward to following my dreams and am grateful for this opportunity. Go Tars!”
Chandgie swims for Y-Spartaquatics Swim Club and just finished his senior year at Brashier Middle College Charter High School. He is spending this summer as the 10 & under head swim coach at Stonehaven Stingrays.
This past spring, he finished his short course yards season at Y-Nationals. He swam to numerous lifetime best times and was highlighted by a 15th place finish in the 200 free where he swam a 1:40.82. He was slightly faster in prelims with a 1:40.14. He also swam lifetime best times in the 100 fly (49.95), 100 free (46.36), and 50 free (21.02).
