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.
Gabriel Jett, a high school junior and member of Clovis Swim Club in California, has made his verbal commitment to swim for the 2019 National Champion Cal Bears in the fall of 2021. Jett comes from quite the swimming family; both of his parents (Scott and Kristie, maiden name Krueger) were multiple-time All-Americans for David Marsh at Auburn back in the 90s and his sister, Sierra, is currently in her senior season as Auburn. He will also enroll in and compete for Clovis North High School this season after previously being homeschooled.
“I’m excited to announce my commitment to the University of California! I’m extremely honored to be joining this amazing program and to swim and study as a Cal Bear. The brotherhood of the team and coaches was truly inspiring and I look forward to contributing in every way possible to the team and school.

Jett used to be a water polo player, but since switching to swimming full time he has been on quite the improvement curve, including setting six new career PRs at the Kevin Perry Meet last month. He will be joining #13 Trent Frandson, Jacob Soderlund, Kai Crews, and #5 Jack Alexy as members of the Cal class of 2025.

Way to go Gabriel! Another excellent recruit out of central CA. His Dad was a regional prodigy swimming for RCA back in the day, glad to see another generation (along with his sister) carry on the tradition of fast swimming
What a swimming pedigree, good luck at Cal and can’t wait till you transfer to Texas!!!
Awesome. 🙂 Welcome to the Cal family. I’m really eager to watch your improvement over your college swimming career — and beyond! Go Bears!
