PRESS RELEASE 11/11/2016

NITRO SWIMMING ANNOUNCES 10 FALL SIGNEES

Nitro Swimming, a 2013/2015/2016 USA Swimming Gold Medal Team, is proud to announce ten Division-I signees that will be moving into the collegiate ranks next fall.

Continuing its ten year November tradition, Nitro Swimming held a signing ceremony for its senior signees this week as family members and teammates watched on. Each swimmer gave a speech announcing their decision, thanked those most important to them, and then sang their new school’s fight song!

One of the strongest senior classes in the nation, they have represented Nitro Swimming at TAGS, Futures, Winter Juniors, Junior Nationals, USA Nationals, and the Olympic Trials. There are also 18 and under International stars from Junior World Championship, Junior Pan Pacs, World Cup, and Open Water events.

Over the last three years, Nitro Swimming has sent 32 swimmers into the collegiate ranks (28 to Division-I, 3 to Division-II, and 1 to Division-III).
